Behind The Lens

Location

his image was taken in Costa Rica

Time

Early afternoon with some passing clouds

Lighting

I like to photograph in partial shade as it brings down the contrast level, particularly on delicate colors and subjects

Equipment

A Nikon D3s, 100 mm lens, no tripod, no flash

Inspiration

I love frogs and am always looking out for them. To me it is like finding a treasure and I get great JOY out of it.

Editing

I do not think so but for a crop and dodge and burn

In my camera bag

Now I am using Canon Gear and it depends what I am after. Another love of mine are birds so I will pack my 500mm f4. Another lens I like for Macro work outside a Macro lens is a wide angle as If possible I can get real close. I love my 11-24mm for that or the 16-24mm

Feedback

YES, do not hurry, let the subject feel comfortable as they know YOU are there. As I take my time I most times get rewarded for it. Another silly thing I do is say "thank you for letting me spent time with you" but that is just me
