Behind The Lens

Location

I was hiking with my family when I noticed the dragonfly. I had my Sigma 70-300 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens on my camera and I took the photo just before it took of.

Time

It was late spring, early summer at midday.

Lighting

The shot was taken in the open so only natural light

Equipment

Canon 600D with Sigma 70-300 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens

Inspiration

Nature it self

Editing

no post-processing for this one

In my camera bag

I always carry UV filters for my lenses, a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6. and a radial ND filter for the Tamron. Along with a Velbon tripod I also have a spider tripod and spare battery is useful the have at any time. Also I always carry a lens pen, a clean lens is essential for a clean photo.

Feedback

Go outside as much as possible, for the rest mother nature will provide
