Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my garden at home. I was fortunate to be walking with my camera not expecting to find something to take a photo of, when I noticed this bee sitting on a dead flower. Being creative seeing what I could do with this photo in my mind. Getting it back to my computer and making the photo I saw in my mind.

Time

This photo was taken at 13:20 in the afternoon, not the best time to be taking photos due to the harsh direct sunlight on the subject.

Lighting

I tried to get it as close to natural as possible, looking at it with and with out the camera. Matching it as close as possible to what I could see with my eye. Remembering the direct sunlight I did compensate a bit by going a bit under lit with the exposure

Equipment

Nikon D90 with 18-55 kit lens. Camera settings were: Manual F-stop = F13 Shutter = 125 Center Weighted

Inspiration

I like to take photos of flowers, insects, wild life and nature, always looking for the unseen and unexpected photo. Looking for the little things that the average person would not look for.

Editing

Yes post processing was done by simply cropping the subject closer, doubled the layer made the top black and white and erased only the bee to come through in color.

In my camera bag

Nikon D 90 primary Nikon D 3000 back up Nikon 2x 18-55 kit lenses Nikon 55-200 kit lens Nikon 35-70 Nikon 80-200 F2.8 Nikon 50mm F1.8 Sigma 70-300 Sigma EF-610 DG Super Speed light

Feedback

All I would say to some one trying this, is to experiment with your camera while taking the photo. Try different settings e.g. F-stop, Shutter, Flash, ISO and different lenses and focal lengths. Always look for something out of the ordinary, it may be a big thing and most times a small thing that you would not generally notice.
