Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my little garden after a heavy rain! The sun appears fade in the clouds. I take my camera as soon as possible and start to shoot before the little bug fly away.

Time

Time of the day? Well, It was a really heavy cloud day, maybe 12 pm or a little later. I love the "bad weather" with a little sun!!

Lighting

Maybe the pic looks like a complex light fill but not, natural light, a gift from the Universe!!!

Equipment

I love my Canon 7D with the first, and very old, canon 100macro. Most of my work y hand held o with a small monopod wich I use to support in my belt, I use a L bracket that let me turn vertical very easy.

Inspiration

I love mother nature, color, forms, texture, variety. I feel blessed by the live because I can see and share all these beautiful things around us.

Editing

I only use raw and process 95% in ACR, some times take me a few days to finish an image. Until my inner voice tell me is enough.

In my camera bag

I use a Canon 7D, 100 macro, 24-105L, tamron 10-17mm, flash 580exII and a retractil white umbrella, clothes to clean lenses, a knee protector, and hat is a must!

Feedback

See the world with, what I call, "Baby eyes". Like if every thing for you was the first and maybe the last time you can see it. Thats my philosophy. Learn as much as you can, see the work of other photographers, no matter if they do something differnt to your work. Practice, take at least one pic a day, you don´t have to make a piece of art of every one, just take that little detail of texture, colors, shadows, train your eyes and brain to be in a permanent state of meditation. And share with others what you learn, the more you share the more you learn!!!! Happy RAW!!!!
