Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken at the Singapore Botanic Gardens as part of my "Talking Flowers" series.

Time

It was late morning with sun almost directly overhead.

Lighting

The subject resembles angelic beings dancing in motion captured my attention. I thought it may be a good reference source for animation artists and fairy tales writers. Lighting is a hit and run, make do situation. A small reflector was used.

Equipment

Samsung S4 zoom using a tripod.

Inspiration

Basically, I am looking for flowers that portraits characters and able to communicate visually. Not easy to locate but results can be very interesting.

Editing

Samsung produced pretty good lenses design but cannot compete in lens coatings. Most images taken with Samsung lenses in bright outdoor lights, I did experienced a drop in overall color, contrast and density. I used Lightroom software to correct.

In my camera bag

I used to have a Cannon 50D with 17-40mm f4L and 100mm f2.8L in my bag. Now I using a Sony 7s, 35mm f2.8 and the Cannon 17-40mm f4L. Cleaning kit is a must.

Feedback

Just go out there with an open mind. Look carefully at subjects that catches your attention and evaluate options like composition, eye levels, motions, colors, contrast, background, focal lengths of lenses and subject to lens distance to bring out the best in the subject.
