Location
The photo was taken in one of Maui botanical gardens, located on a slops of the volcano in cooler weather higher altitude.Time
It was mid afternoon, we found the place on a map and we drove there from the coast. Ideal condition with no wind.Lighting
Image was taken with natural lighting with no flash.Equipment
This was shoot on a Nikon D5300 with Nikkor 18-55 mm lens using a UV filter, no tripod, no flash.Inspiration
I was walking down the trail and these flowers jumped out of me. It stood out because the bright flowers seemed isolated from dark background creating a contrast.Editing
This is natural photograph with no photo-shop.In my camera bag
I have my Nikon D7200 for now, Nikkor lens 55-300mm, 18-55mm and micro 60mm,I always carry a polarizer and a lens hood, tripod when needed.Feedback
Always carry a camera with you and be prepared for all types of situations. Some time a tripod may be needed. And if you can get advice from a mentor it could be great!
