Behind The Lens

Location

In the back yard of my parent's house in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico

Time

I think it was in the morning, but I could be wrong, it's been some time since I took it!

Lighting

I used natural light for this take, always do when I'm outside doing nature photography!

Equipment

My old and trusted Nikon D5100 and my 200mm Nikkor lens

Inspiration

Went out with my camera to see if I could take some bird or squirrel pictures since it's a big yard we have seen both but there were none so I look at this flower on the cactus and I realized that even in the most harsh environments and conditions there is beauty!

Editing

A bit, not good at post-processing, adjusted the contrast and light for a bit!

In my camera bag

I always have my Nikon camera (D5100 then, D7200 now), my 50mm, 18-150mm and 55-200mm lenses, that is my battle gear!

Feedback

Not sure I can give any advise, there are far better photographers out there from whom you can learn a lot more, all I can say is that don't be afraid of taking a picture, take as much as you like and of the things you like, take them from different angles and different settings, whatever does not work you can erase them and learn from them!
