Location
The photo was taken in my garage.Time
4:56 pm.Lighting
I had the garage door open to use the natural light from the outside.Equipment
Table, black cloth, vase, Gerber Daisies and water spray bottle were used to set up the photo. I shot the photo with my Nikon D300 camera and my Nikon 105mm 2.8 lens. I used my RRS tripod and my remote shutter release.Inspiration
Gerber daisies are my favorite flowers. I bought a bunch of them and arranged them in a variety of ways in a short vase to keep the vase out of the photo. This was my favorite shot because of the angle of the stems. I loved combining the different colors.Editing
I lowered the black slider to make the background darker. I also sharpened the photo some. These changes were done in Lightroom.In my camera bag
My Nikon camera, Nikon lenses including a 12-24mm, an 18-300mm, a 70-200mm, an 80-400mm, a 50mm and a fisheye lens, extra cards and battery and my remote shutter release..Feedback
The best pictures happen when I use natural light, a tripod and a remote shutter release. Be creative and try different combinations.
