They are quite small,it's the macro that makes it look big.each flower is about the size of ur fingernail.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at my home in my moms beautiful garden. I was playing around with my first point and shoot camera that my dad gifted me in the garden. Back then the garden was my starter in photography. Thats where my passion began...

Time

It was a fresh winter morning when I took this shot.

Lighting

As it was morning the light was not that sharp and bright but still pleasant for the pic. This is an old photo and I dint have a dslr back then. I had taken this pic on auto mode with macro !

Equipment

The camera I used for this photograph was a simple point and shoot, canon power shot A1000 IS. My first cam !

Inspiration

It was morning and the flowers gave a very fresh feel which compelled me to take the shot. After a few angles I got what I wanted

Editing

No post processing has been done on this photo.Honest :-)

In my camera bag

I usually have 3 lenses in my bag my regular ef 18-55mm, my zoom ef 55-250mm and my canon ef 50mm lens. All canon lenses. apart from that I always carry my macro lens kit, a flashlight, a cloth for cleaning the equipment and a tripod !

Feedback

Macro has been hard for me. One thing I learnt is not be lazy wid the angles. If you have to sleep in the dirt for the shot, do it !! Lighting is very crucial. Think about that beautiful rose lying in the shadows! Now thats no use ! I personally prefer natural lighting for the photographs but hey, keep experimenting !
