Behind The Lens
Location
This shot was taken in my front yard in Southwest Florida.Time
I took this shot in the early morning with a diffused flash.Lighting
I tried several shots with the flash because of the low light until the diffused flash worked out well.Equipment
Nothing fancy here. The camera was a Fuji HS50EXR bridge with a pop up flash and home made diffuser.Inspiration
I really liked the details in the center of the flower.Editing
Very little pp was needed. I used picasa to do the pp.In my camera bag
I don't carry a lot of expensive equipment (only because I can't afford it yet ). I do carry a tripod, lens cleaning equipment, filters, and homemade diffuser.Feedback
