Location
This photo was taken in my backyard. I fell in love with photography when I was a teenager and it still is my passion.Time
I took this shot in my flowerbed full of lantana one summer. It was middle of the afternoon but this particular was in the shade so it worked out really well. Not that I planned but as any photographer know the best shots sometimes just happen! It is one of my favorite all time captures!Lighting
Shot was captured in the shade in the middle of the afternoon on a very hot summer day in Oklahoma.Equipment
The camera I was using at the time was the Sony a560 with a Zoom 55-250 lense.Inspiration
I always have my camera with me and I was just walking around admiring my flowers and honestly the shot just happened!Editing
No!In my camera bag
Sony a77ii and Tamron 150-600mm and 18-200mm lenses. I always carry my wireless remote as well! I really keep my equipment to the minimium.Feedback
I always try to be observant when out in nature because just like this shot, some shots are not planned, they just happen!
