Behind The Lens
Location
This wildflower was photographed in a field near my home in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania.Time
It was taken just after noon on an overcast day.Lighting
A hard sun will burn out the white petals (photographically), a tricky subject in this case. Depending on the flower, I will shoot very early morning or late afternoon, or mid-day in the brightest sun. I always keep in mind that I am not shooting the flower, but the light reflected from the flower.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon D200 with a 28-105 zoom, hand held...f/9 at 1/325Inspiration
I love flowers: color, texture, pattern, shapeEditing
No editing, other than a minor crop.In my camera bag
Unless I'm traveling or on assignment I go light...camera, a couple of lenses, monopod, tripodFeedback
As I said, earlier: A hard sun will burn out the white petals (photographically), a tricky subject in this case. Depending on the flower, I will shoot very early morning or late afternoon, or mid-day in the brightest sun. I always keep in mind that I am not shooting the flower, but the light reflected from the flower. When shooting flower portraits, think tripod. Think bracketing, especially in f/stops, to change the nature of the depth of field.
