Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Karumathur which is outskirts of Madurai.

Time

This photo was taken during Afternoon 2 O'Clock in the first week of December.

Lighting

This photo was taken during afternoon. I needed good light to get the most colors out of the bug & sun light helped me to get what I needed the most. It was a open area & the direct sun light gave the perfect tone to the click & also I have to thank the bug that didnt fly around during my shot :).

Equipment

Its a hand held shot & I used Nikon P510 along with Raynox DCR 250 to get this result.

Inspiration

Generally I am very much interested in macro & wild life photography. Specially the colors of this bug attracted me to click this photo.

Editing

Yes I used photoshop elements 8 to give Auto-Contrast which made it more beautiful.

In my camera bag

Nikon D40, NIKKOR 55 - 300, NIKKOR 35 mm, Nikon P510, Raynox DCR 250 & a Tripod.

Feedback

I am a beginner & not a pro, I would like to share my thoughts which I keep myself while I take photos.. * Always try to exploit the natural lights which gives better tone & color to the photo * Try to isolate the Subject in our photo from other objects & highlight it with proper DOF * Find the Odd one in the crowd that attracts you & click
