Behind The Lens
Location
The photo is taken in Italy. It was summertime. I was hanging around the pool with camera as i noticed the fly. The story is really interesting because the fly flew away a couple times and it was always coming back at the same spot where it was standing.Time
The photo was taken after 2 pm.Lighting
Since the fly was standing on a white background the light was perfect with the trees around that were letting enough light to come around.Equipment
I was using Nikon D5100 with Macro Tubes(rings). I used the pool side as a tripod.Inspiration
The story is really interesting because the fly flew away a couple times and it was always coming back at the same spot where it was standing. As weird as it sounds, but it was like we connected. After the last time she came back to the same spot, it didn't move from there for at least 20 minutes. It was almost a miracle and it gave me the chance to take some amazing photos, including this one.Editing
No, the photo is the same as it was taken.In my camera bag

It's all about patience and trying to connect with nature. Then, you start seeing things differently and the photos come easier your way. The macro world of nature has a lot of unseen things to offer.
