Behind The Lens
Location
This awesome photo was taken in my yard out here in rural Jones County, Mississippi. Living out in the country give me a myriad of opportunities to photograph some great subjects...Time
This photo would have been taken in the early A.M. as I frequently get out and walk around the property looking for something to photograph after I have had my first few cups morning coffee. Of course as you can tell by the photo itself, I enjoy Macro photography...Lighting
Honestly, I just use the light as it is naturally and make no effort to alter it, as I prefer my photos to be just as you would have seen them, even though in this case it would have required a magnifying glass to see it in this manner.Equipment
This was taken with one of my previous Fuji FinePix S Series cameras, though I do not remember the exact model number, and I would have been taking this shot while simply holding the camera...Inspiration
It's natural beauty was all it took to get me to stop and start taking pictures of what most people consider a weed, but as the picture shows, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...Editing
I'm just a simple man taking simple pictures with a relatively simple camera, and so in an effort to keep it simple, I do not do any post-processing and share my pictures as they were taken...In my camera bag
I don't have a bag, just a camera that I try not to leave home without.Feedback
Always take the shot, then take it again, and again, if possible, and then at some point you will be truly surprised with the outcome and better yest you will have a picture that others truly enjoy looking at, which is the ultimate payoff for something so relaxing to do.
