Location
This picture was taken next door in my mother in law's garden. I had recently gotten my sigma 105mm lens and I wanted to try out some macro shots.Time

Natural lighting on a semi-overcast summer day.Equipment
Camera: Nikon D300 Lens: Sigma 105mm Tripod: No, hand held Flash: No Other: Spray bottleInspiration
I had been wanting to use my recently acquired Sigma 105mm lens for macro shots and my mother in law had some beautiful roses in her garden. I knew I wanted to get some close up/macro shots of flowers with dew on them but it was late in the day so I got a spray bottle and put some water in it and just misted the roses and started shooting.Editing
Yes, because I shoot in RAW I always send my photo's through lightroom, that after I have saved the originals I can do some minor processing and then when I save the processed image I can change it over to JPEG. The processing I would have done would have been leveling out the image, and a little clarity bump.In my camera bag
My Lowepro SlingShot 302 AW Camera Bag has a Nikon D300 body, Nikkor 18-200mm lens, Sigma 10-20mm lens, Sigma 105mm lens, Nikkor 50mm lens, many different filters, extra battery, extra memory cards, cleaning brush and clothes, glove with index finger missing, hair ties, note pad, pens, aspirin, sinus medication, handi-wipes, emergency thermal blanket to use on the ground to keep out of the mud when on knees, stomach or behind.Feedback
Not really. Just get a spray bottle and fill it with water. Lightly mist the flower and shot from different angles until you come up with something you like.
