Location
I toke this photo at Petropolis a city near Rio de de Janeiro/BrazilTime
It was on January of 2015. The photo was taken in the evening just before the sun go down.Lighting
The color of the flower was increased due to the sun light passing through the flower. That was the objective. Another special things regarding the photo was the suddenly appearance of the little ant. The ant gave me only a few seconds to keep take the photo :)Equipment
A DMC-FZ40. No flash or extra light was used. Only the direct sun light.Inspiration
First of all the light of that day was special and I had saw that flower before in the morning. So I had predicted that at the sunset the direction of the sun light would be perfect for the photo with the light passing through the flower. Them I only keep myself waiting the right hour for the photo. The ant was a luck not predicted :)Editing
I had corrected a little the contrast increasing the light of the dark part of the tree. The photo was taken with RAW adjust.In my camera bag
Only the camera. Actually I have a Cannon T5 with a zoom to 135mmFeedback
To take photo is like to hunt special things with special lights at special perspective and, every, with a story to tell. In this photo the ant gave me the story. Were it was going to? What should be it sensation regarding the fantastic light that was around all it? :)
