Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at my home in New Delhi, IndiaTime
At 7.30 in the morning .Lighting
It was shot in natural light coming through the window. A drop of glycerin was added on a peacock feather through a syringe to create a clear, stable drop of liquid to represent a drop of tear.Equipment
The camera Nikon D7000 with 50mm f 1.8 lens was handheld. The focus was on the drop from the closest distance possible to get macro effect.Inspiration
A had tried similar shots on Black feathers. I wanted a bright feather this time.Editing
Not much except some sharpening.In my camera bag
A few other lenses than the kit ense, including a wide angle and a few prime lenses( 50mm, 35mm, and Macro 105mm)Feedback
I prefer doing photography in natural light in golden hours when light comes from the horizon. I normally do not use a tripod as it helps me to have flexibility of angles while composing a picture. I always prefer a prime lens.
