Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

Time

It was about mid afternoon.

Lighting

The sun was a bit too bright so i ended up putting an umbrella above my head.

Equipment

Using Canon EOS 600D with a Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical [IF] Lens

Inspiration

I love the tiny world around us and tend to head out any chance i get. Most of my shots are macro so i love the challenge in finding new bugs to shoot.

Editing

No post-processing except maybe a little cropping.

In my camera bag

I usually only take my camera, macro lens, tripod and a flash.

Feedback

Don't be too shy to look stupid running around chasing a fly. Someone has to be keen to put in the effort for the rest of the world to enjoy what you normally cant see.
