Behind The Lens

Location

In my home on my kitchen table.

Time

Lighting

As this was a long exposure I choose a place in my home that did not have bright sunlight.

Equipment

Nikon D750, 105 mm macro lens & a tripod.

Inspiration

This was one of my first attempts at water drop photography. I had seen other water drop photos on Viewbug and was inspired to give it a try. It was trial and error, but a lot of fun!

Editing

Adjustment for lighting and cropping.

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, D7000, 24-300 mm everyday lens, 105 mm macro lens, 16-35 mm wide angle lens & 80-400 mm long lens.

Feedback

Youtube has great instruction from top notch photographers. Watch a few videos first showing how to and then get ready for some fun and frustrations. Fun won out!
