Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Maymont Gardens in Richmond, VA.

Time

This photo was taken midday in the tulip garden. I wanted to get a different perspective so I got down on the ground and laid underneath the blooms for a bug's eye view!

Lighting

It was a beautiful sunny day - all natural light.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7000 for this shot.

Inspiration

Of course the beauty of the flowers was my main focus but the flowers were really tall and many of the blooms hung over so a shot from above just wasn't doing them justice. A shot from underneath gave them a larger than life feel.

Editing

I did do a slight post-processing detailing in Photomatix.

In my camera bag

A Nikon D7000 camera. Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens, a Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G lens and a micro lens, the Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Lens. I recently purchased a Fujifilm XT-1 camera and have been using that of late with a Fuji 18-135mm lens and a 55-200mm lens.
