Location
Marl-Polsum Germany.Time
Early evening. Just before dinner.Lighting
The lighting was a challenge. It was overcast and light was fading quickly, but thankfully I had the appropriate lens for the occasion.Equipment
Canon 7d, 50mm 1.8, no Flash, handheld.Inspiration
Theo is a friend of ours who has the most enchanting garden I've ever seen. I wanted to capture his flowers in the same tone and feel that they exsuded in real life. When I look at this photo, I can smell the dewy garden. I wanted to be able to transport myself back to that wonderful place anytime.Editing
A little bit of color edits, but exposure, curves and cropping is pretty well untouched.In my camera bag
My 7D, always, usually with my nifty fifty attached. 100mm 2.8 is a must, as portraits and jewelry are my main subjects. LOTS of batteries!Feedback
Be cognitive of all of your surroundings while shooting. It will help you visualize the entire experience when in post, helping create a more genuine image.
