Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in the flower garden in Mayfield Park in Austin Texas.

Time

If I remember correctly this image was taken in early afternoon.

Lighting

The flower garden is in a nicely shaded area.

Equipment

I took the image on a Sony A57 with a Tamron 24-70 lens. I tend to hand hold ( I know, I know) but I find it gives me the best ability to shoot in different perspectives.

Inspiration

I noticed the little spider and just had to capture him adorning this beautiful flower.

Editing

I always bump the exposure just a bit and add a bit of clarity and sharpening to my images. But VERY slight as I don't wish to change the image in camera from what inspired me to take the image in the first place.

In my camera bag

This image was taken when I first started as a pro. I now carry a full arsenal of equipment. I never leave the house for a shoot without my A7II full frame mirrorless, a OCF, and at minimum 4 lens's. Best to be prepared for anything.

Feedback

Always be shooting. Most images I have taken where not really planned. I try to look at the world through my lens, so that others can also bask in the beauty that the lens captures.
