Shot with natural lightingEquipment
Shot with my D500, Nikkor 200-50mm lens and a Promaster gimbal head on a Vanguard monopod.Inspiration
The opportunity arose for this workshop as a gift for my birthday. Made the best out of the opportunity.Editing
Light editing was done in post, a little shadow enhancement on the branch as well as lightening the background a little.In my camera bag
I have both my bodies (D500 and D750) in my bag as well as my Nikkor 105mm micro, Sigma 50mm Art, Nikkor 16-35mm, on camera flash, as well as my set of NiSi v5 pro ND filters.Feedback
Keep shooting. The more you shoot, the better you will get with minor adjustments. I read a ton, it’s trial and error to see what works best for your type of shooting.
