Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my friends backyard, in the are are many place like this with small fish pond and surrounded by rice field and a creek. The place was a nice place to take insects photo like buttefly, dragon fly, ladybug, ants and many more.

Time

i took this photo in the afternoon about 5 pm. really love the weather, clear sky and the insects not to active, maybe they prepare to get some rest. :-)

Lighting

Just use my feeling, the sky was clear and the was really help me out with the lighting i need. Just get the position with the in back, and i get the best lighting that nature can give.

Equipment

This was shot using Pentax K-r camera, Pentax M 50 1:1.4 Lens and i use macro extension tube

Inspiration

I love to take macro shot, so i surf the internet to get reference. And i really curious how can i can i shot with clear background and use only few equipment after learn from many references finally i can get what i want.

Editing

for this photo..? yes, i use a post-processing. I use photoshop for pos-processing, but only for leveling the color and add more contrast.

In my camera bag

the the equipment i always have in my bag was my Pentax K-r with 18-55 kit lenscamera the one and only camera that i have to take this shot. The other equipments are Tamron 70-300, Pentax M 50 1:1.4 and YN 560 II Speedlite. Why choosing Pentax..? just love the color that produced from the camera and can use old lens with no need of an adapter.

Feedback

Just look your surrounding, use anything that can support what you want, and the most important is don't feel bored of trying. The most of all for me are try to get my motto done on taking a photo, Think what you want to shot, Learn how you can get it, Act by doing what you want and already learn.
