Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my back yard. The background is actually a large pecan tree covered in ivy with some yellow leaves.Time
I shot this early morning with sun just hitting the rose and the background in mostly shade.Lighting
This was natural lighting...early morning.Equipment
I shot this with a Canon Rebel T2i; tripod, ISO 100; 1/160; f/5.6. No flash.Inspiration
I saw the single rose against a mostly dark background. I like the contrast of color against the pink of the petals.Editing
Very little post-processing was done on this one. A bit of saturation and sharpness adjustment in PhotoShop Elements.In my camera bag
I carry two lens. A 60mm micro and 100-400 zoom. Most of the time, I use my newer camera, a Canon EOS 7D, but sometimes I carry the Rebel T2i as backup, or in the case of wanting another lens and not wanting to take the time to change it.Feedback
I would advise others to look closely at their surroundings. Sometimes the most comment elements can be turned into very striking photos.
