Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on our back deck. We have a number of hanging baskets with herbs. This mint is one of them.

Time

It was a wet, miserable day with not much opportunity for out door photography. I decided to use my 60mm macro lens and photography flowers around the house. Also I was keen to try out the in camera focus stacking feature of my Olympus OMD em1 Mark 3.

Lighting

The lighting was grey and over cast. Perfect for this type of photography.

Equipment

The photo was taken hand with a olympus OMD EM 1 Mark 3. The lens is a f2.8 60mm macro lens. The camera also has a focus stacking feature. You choose the number of focus points, aperture, shutter speed etc then the camera combines the photos in camera.

Inspiration

I was bored. So I photographed what was at hand. I think it worked out well ????

Editing

Most of the processing was done in camera. I did minor adjustments to the White, black and contrast sliders.

In my camera bag

I normally have my Olympus OMD em1 Mark 3 and at least 2 pro lens. A f2.8 12-40mm, f2.8 7-14mm, f2.8 40-150mm, f2.8 60mm macro and a f4 300mm prime.

Feedback

Be bored, try anything and follow your nose.
