Behind The Lens
Location
Butchart Gardens, Vancouver IslandTime
Each year after backpacking on Juan de Fuca trail we spend an afternoon in Butchart gardens and wander aimlessly taking shots of all the flowers and plants as our relaxation part of the trip before driving back to Alberta. Not only I love the colors found in this garden, but also the textures you can come across. This was taken during mid day in May.Lighting
Natural lighting, no flash used, and was in the shade and handheld shotEquipment
Fujifilm x-pro1 or Fujifilm XT1 with 35mm Fujinon 1.4 lens and Fujinon 14mm 2.8 and depending on what trek/trip we are doing either a little gorilla pod or my GitzoSeries 1 Traveler Tripod with Acrotech ballheadInspiration
I love textures that are found in natureEditing
Lightroom for sharpening contrast and detail then used Nik software Silver Efex pro 2.In my camera bag
Fujinon 14mm 2.8, fujinon 35mm 1.4, polarizing filters for each lens, lens pen cleaner, 2 extra batteries, waterproof stuff sackFeedback
Experiment! Look at things around you and the textures it creates especially when on macro mode with your lens.
