Location
Captured this photo in my back yard. Go out every morning with my camera and always find something to take a picture of.Time
This photo was captured in mid morning after a light rain.Lighting
The sun was just coming out after the rain and the lighting excentuated the droplet in the dandelion, awesome lighting that helped to pick up this tiny droplet.Equipment
I was using my canon t3 with the kit lens 18-55mm with a raynox magnifying clip on lens, hand held.Inspiration
Love the soft airiness of dandelions when they are going to seed and the sun was shining down right on the raindrop with a sparkle and of course caught my eye and had to try and get the shot.Editing
The only editing done on this photo was the cropping.In my camera bag
I usually have two cameras in my bag my canon t3 and Pentax K-50 with several lens for both cameras (50mm, 55-300, and 18-55) polarizer filter and when going out into field my tripod.Feedback
If and when I can afford a macro lens I would advise that it may be a lot easier to try this shot using a macro lens.
