Location
This photo was taken at home, in the season of not very pleasant weather to take photos outside.Time
It was early afternoon, there was no plann behind like waiting for the best light..it was just inspiration of the moment. Most of my photos belong to such type of inspiration and I believe it gives them their own magic.Lighting
For me, the best light is natural light and also this photo was taken using only light from the window.Equipment
Even if many people wonder I still haven´t started relationship with tripod (and flash as well) and 99% of my work is "from hand". I feel much more flexible taking photos without tripod. So, no tripod, no flash, only natural light, Nikon D300S and Nikon micro 60 mm F2,8 lens.Inspiration
During Autumn I relaxed walking around one nice lake close to my home and I found small white feathers, left here by swans visiting the lake every year. I picked many of them just because of their beauty and softness and later I tried to bring this feeling into my first feather photos.Editing
I am not fan of complicated and long lasting post-processing. This photo was proceed in Lightroom by few easy steps, taking less than one minute. I am a little bit lazy and I try to do as much as possible during taking photos to have less work after :o)In my camera bag
Nikon D300S (not the newest one, but my favorite), Nikon micro 60mm f2,8, Nikon 85 mm f1,8, Kenko macro rings.Feedback
Listen to the moment of inspiration and try as long as you like it, because trying longer usually does not bring good results. Find your way of expression which will make you satisfied and will touch your soul, nothing else matters :o)
