Behind The Lens

Location

The photo is taken in Antelope Valley, CA, USA. These poppy seeds only bloom for a short time every year and every year is different as well. We were lucky to get there at the right time finding it this beautiful.

Time

I do not really remember it must have been early afternoon since we were on a day trip.

Lighting

Sometimes you just shoot and do not need to worry about lighting.

Equipment

Camera: NIKON D60 Aperture: f/10.0 ISO: 160 Shutter Speed: 1/250

Inspiration

Bein in that moment you were taken away by the colors in the middle of the desert. It was unbelievable. After a while this road through this magical world open up. There it was.

Editing

Not much. A bit of color adjustment - but hardly any.

In my camera bag

At the moment I prefer to walk around with just my Fujifilm X100s. What a great camera to always have with you. It is just the right equipment for street photography. No need to carry the big guns.

Feedback

Desert flowers are fun. But you never know how the year will turn out. There are web pages that will help you plan your trip and tell you about the time of the year the flowers will bloom. Check to be prepared but there is alway some uncertainty.
