Behind The Lens

Location

At my garden in Salvador-Bahia-Brazil

Time

In the afternoon 14:23

Lighting

No, nothing at all, just the Sunlight

Equipment

Olympus Em-10, OM-D Lens: Olympus digital 40-150mm 1:4-5.6 R ED MSC f/6.3 1/400 s ISO 200

Inspiration

Nature and my love of flowers

Editing

I made just the basic corrections with PhotoFiltre 7 (free version) and I cropped with Windows Gallery (Windows 8.1). I haven't or use PhotoShop

In my camera bag

My cam, 2 small tripods, 3 lens (Olympus digital 40-150mm 1:4-5.6 R ED MSC/ Olympus 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 EZ ED MSC/ Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 1:2.8/45 ASPH), material for cleaning the lens and sometimes a tripod WF WT 3550 (not always). Ah! Also a bottle spray for water (sometimes I like to drop some water on the subject)

Feedback

Just feel the subject, it's basic for me to feel it, to talk with it (I usually say to my flowers: Hi dear, talk to me, what have you for me today?)(I know, it sounds crazy, hihi). Simple like that. My pics are my poems of Light, my way to talk about the beauty around me, to tell how I feel the world. Rules are made to be broken, so set your mind free from rules and let your eyes and feelings guide you. This pic was one of my first, in a time which I even knew what aperture, speed, ISO, etc would mean. So, like I said: Set your soul free because take a pic is more than a cam or "equipment"... well, I would love a professional cam, hihi, for sure... greetings from Brazil
