Behind The Lens
Location
In my garden, in a wattle tree. Victoria, Australia.Time
Early afternoon, around 12-1pmLighting
It had just finished raining and it was still overcast, so nice soft lighting.Equipment
I used a Nikon D3200 DSLR camera, a Nikkor 18-55mm lens and Hoya +1, +4 magnifier filters.Inspiration
I love experimenting with depth of field and taking macro/close-up photos. It had just finished raining, and it was the perfect, round little rain-drop sitting daintily on the wattle leaf. I had to take a photo! :)Editing
Yes. Using Photoshop I reduced noise and sharpened the image a little. I also adjusted the contrast slightly to enhance the image.In my camera bag
Nikon D3200 DSLR camera, a set of Hoya +1, +2, +3, +4 magnifier filters . A Nikkor 18-55mm lens and a Sigma 70-300mm lens with lens hood. A Kenko polarizer filter, a gray card, and spare SD card.Feedback
Good lighting is always helpful! It helps if you have a macro lens or magnifier filters to pick up more detail in smaller subjects. Use a small f-stop (in this image I used an f-stop of 5.6) to get the depth of field :)
