Behind The Lens

Location

On my normal route to work I noticed these poppies. They were along the road adjacent to a field.

Time

On the weekend, I moved to the spot before dawn. It was a beautiful sunrise with little wind.

Lighting

The soft backlight of the rising sun illuminated the flowers creating a fairy-like image.

Equipment

I always use a tripod and my Nikon D300 with a 200 mm macro lens.

Inspiration

I find poppies so beautiful because of their fragility and almost translucent red leaves. You can find them everywhere and in the most impossible places. In backlight I find them very fascinating.

Editing

No post-processing has been executed.

In my camera bag

I try to bring as little equipment as possible to photograph. Normally this is my Nikon D700 or Nikon D300 with a 200 mm macro lens. The tripod is definitely not to be missed.

Feedback

As tips I can give the following : Try to be on site before sunrise and estimate the place where the sun rises. With a tripod you can already determine the image and make small corrections.
