Location
I took this in my back yard in Oxnard California.Time
This was taken midday.Lighting
The lighting was natural under a bright midday sun with no clouds.Equipment
I used my Nikon D7000 with my Nikkor 105mm Macro lens on my Manfrotto tripod. I used my remote to trigger the shot. I also used a spray bottle with water to make the berries a little more shiny.Inspiration
It was near lunch so I pulled out the strawberries and blueberries, that we got from our son-in-law who is a strawberry farmer, and they were beautifully colored and decided i wanted to try and take this picture. I put the strawberries and blueberries on a plate and tried a bunch of different ways. That lasted until the hunger took over and I ate the models. haha.Editing
There was very little processing done to this. It was brightened just a touch.In my camera bag
Depends on which bag. I have a backpack that carries 2 cameras 5 lenses and flashes with a tripod tie on the outside of the bag. When I am out hiking or off roading I carry a smaller bag with 1 camera and 3 lenses with a tie to carry my tripod.Feedback
My only advice for something like this is experiment with everything. Just looking in your refrigerator can give you ideas. Everything around you can become a subject for a photo. They all tell stories.
