Location
This photo was taken in my garden. In Hervey Baay QueenslandTime
I took this shot mid morning which for this shot was a good time as the trees above provided good shade. They also add some great highlights due to the shadows on the flowers.Lighting
As above i had been watching what time the light was the best in the garden and tried taking shots from dawn till dusk but mid morning gave me the best shadows and highlights in this part of my garden.Equipment
the gear i used.! Was my D3200 nikon DSLR with a Sigma 70-300 dg macro lens. on a tripod for extra stability for taking macros. the wind was very light this day so it suited tripod work. No flash on this shot as when i did it lost the highlights of the suns shadows on the flower.Inspiration
This shot was taken as the flowers were out in bloom and caught my eye for a great shot. i did take quite a few shots at all different time of day. but this is when i found the best light to really make the shot pop.Editing
With post work all i did was pull the highlights out in lightroom 5 and add the border and watermark and convert from raw to jpegIn my camera bag
