Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in my gardenTime
This was taken late in the morning, just after the rainLighting
just natural light while a rainy dayEquipment
This was shot with a Canon Mark II 5D and a 100 mm macro (I love this lens)Inspiration
I wanted to take drops : perfect time, when you can go out just after the rain in a garden I had remarked a simple grass plant (no flower) witch could give a result without frills to emphasize the shape sideEditing
I used post processing (lightroom) to give the contrast i wanted to the pictureIn my camera bag
I always have my favorite lens : 100 mm macro (sometimes i only bring it) sometimes i take a 50 mm lens (or hire a 300 mmm), a tripod, ND filterFeedback
You have to be ready, just after the rain, so the drops are well shaped and numerous. No special advice but observe and take you time while shooting
