Behind The Lens
Location
Tulip Festival, Mt. Vernon, WashingtonTime
10:30 amLighting
The sunshine on the tulips was providing a translucent effect.Equipment
Nikon D7000 with a Nikkor 10 - 14 wide angle lens.Inspiration
I wanted to use the wide angle lens to create a larger than life feel for the tulips.Editing
In Lightroom I straightened and cropped the image. I also removed a tree that was on the horizon line. I then played with the colours to create the final image.In my camera bag
Camera, 2 - 3 lenses, tripod, cable release, lens cleaning cloth, extra batteries, filters.Feedback
A wide angle lens is important for this kind of image. You have to have your camera very close to the ground and shoot up.
