Location
This shot was taken in ojai, ca in a public botanical garden. The garden is run by town member volunteers.Time
This shot was taken mid day but had the ocean marine layer to help with the harsh light that you'd normally get in a mid day picture.Lighting
Marine layer helped with mid day lightingEquipment
Shot with a canon 5D MarkIII with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with a extension tube to help with the macro look I was going for.Inspiration
Beautiful garden. Great spot for some macro photographyEditing
Did a little Lightroom editing on this image to just clean it up and added a little color.In my camera bag

Shoot shoot shoot. Macro photography is tough. I usually take auto focus off and position myself rather than position the subject for the shot I'm looking for. Just have fun. Most won't turn out the way you were hoping but keep shooting!
