Behind The Lens
Location
My garden in Sydney.Time
Mid morning.Lighting
I used the high morning sun in a backlight situation.Equipment
This was taken with the Tamron SP 90mm Macro on the Cannon 650D.Inspiration
I have been doing a thematic study of Dandelions over many years, starting well before digital on a variety of cameras and in diverse locations.Editing
This is straight from camera with no effects. Only minor levels adjustment.In my camera bag
Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic DSLR's and bridge cameras, with a range of lenses, whatever suits the situation.Feedback
Lighting is critical and backlight brings out the contrast in macro subjects, stop down the lens for better DOF and use tripod where necessary. Using a water sprayer gives the nice drops.
