Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was taken in my studio which is a grand way of saying my daughter's old bedroom which is now messier with me than ever !!Time
Late afternoon when the sun has gone over the house.Lighting
I use an old desk lamp for lighting. Possibly not the right light to use but it works for me.Equipment
Olympus E420 with 35mm macro lens. Hand held using a small wheat bag to steady my hand. I do own a tripod but rarely use it. I like to move around a lot.Inspiration
This is a seed from a geranium flower. When water touches the open seed it closes up rapidly, much like a fan. I love the delicate look and feeling of the feathery seed and achieving this photo was a challenge.Editing
Basic photoshop processing .. sharpening, highlighting colour and contrast.In my camera bag
All my equipment is in my room. As long as I have my camera and macro lens, then I am happy.Feedback
Persistence, love of macro, persistence, persistence.!!
