Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my garden, in front of my Florida Home. It's an Elephant's Ear plant (if I'm not mistaken).

Time

It was about 330 in the afternoon

Lighting

I used a Nissin Ringlight speedlite, and some natural light for the background lighting.

Equipment

Canon Rebel T3 Tamron DI VC 90 mm lens Nissin Ring light

Inspiration

It caught my eye because of the way that the leaf sparkled in the sunlight.

Editing

No post processing here, This is exactly how it rolled off of my SD Card

In my camera bag

Tamron glass, Nissin Flashes, and my Canon Rebel. I also carry a full set of pocket wizards complete with mini and flex.

Feedback

I shot this using low aperture, Most of the time with macro photography, you would want to shoot in higher apertures, but I like to go for the abstract side of macro, and a shallow depth of field can sometimes give you that effect!
