Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my backyard. Planted all kinds of seeds this year to work on taking macro photos. Ended up loving them before they even opened!Time
This was taken just around diner time. My favorite time to shoot, when the sun is starting to set casing an orange glow. I loved the reflection on the petals making them so glossy. I had a camera purse around my next and just keep swapping out lens and adding magnifiers until I exhausted my battery and my stomach starting to grumbleLighting
I like being a bit different and I always loved flowers, whether it is soft and dreamy or harsh and eerie. This photo I loved because it was showing us that no matter at what stage all things have their beauty moments. I love flowers and macros, the little hairs on the stem and leaves, the detail in the petals..nature gives us the beauty in every stage of lifeEquipment
This was short with a macro lens, 2x magnification lens, hand held no tripod no flashInspiration
I am inspired by nature itself, I love the detail and strength of the sunflower, the colour, the growth patterm, every day it is changing something new to see...makes every day a camera kind of dayEditing
A little bit of contrast adjustmentIn my camera bag
Sony A77ii, 4 different varying length lens, lensbaby muse, macro lens, several magnifier, lots of batteries and lots of camera cardsFeedback
I shoot what I love. Look deeply at your subject see it in a different light, shot at different times of day, shoot at different angles, shoot high, shoot low, do what you love and find your own style and go with it.....if you love it that is all that matters, others will love it too they will see your passion and love in the shot
