Behind The Lens
Location
In my back yard.Time
It was taken in early afternoonLighting
I use 2 on-the-lens flashes (Nikon R1) which allows for greater depth of field and freezes the moment.Equipment
The picture was handheld; camera was a Nikon D300; lens was a 105 micro with 3 extension tubes (68mm) and 2 flashes described earlier.Inspiration
Just looking for a different way to shoot flowers.Editing
Yes, I use Photoshop to crop, add contrast and sharpness, take out any highlight burnouts.In my camera bag
Besides the camera equipment previously described, I carry a mist bottle and a knee pad. For this shot, I used a flexible clamp to hold the tendril in front of the flower.Feedback
For drop pictures, I have a flexible clamp arm and either eyedropper or syringe with me. Try to find an interesting stem to put drops on.
