Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in the backyard where I had a glass-feedtable for insects with rotten fruits. This picture was taken after a downpour.

Time

This was taken on 14 august at 14:42. The whether was cloudy, and the shutter time was 1/60 with an iso 100.

Lighting

For this picture I wanted a natural light end, no sun because otherwise the reflections on the bugs shield would be too hard.

Equipment

This shot was on a cannon 50D with a 100mm F/2.8 cannon macro lens on a simple tripod.

Inspiration

I didn't had a real inspiration from other pictures. I just wanted to create a picture with a nice reflection.

Editing

After loading the picture into the computer I made a crop for the composition and a little sharpening.

In my camera bag

My equipment is only for macro photography. I always have my tripod with me and also a beanbag. A canon 50D camera the 100mm F/2.8 macrolens and gold/silver collapsible Circular Reflector Disc. A pare of scissors and a little flashlight.

Feedback

Try to make the picture with natural licht from a tripod, and if you're camera supports it use live view for sharpening.
