Behind The Lens

Location

This macrophotography was taken in my backyard . It represents old green moss after the rain

Time

I remember taking this shot a long time ago in the afternoon. After many rainy days, i was happy to shoot outside. Most everything is good with macrophotography in wet condition but i wanted to shoot the tiniest thing i coud find and i have found it looking at the ground

Lighting

The natural lightning was not so good so i used my external flash to bounce light.

Equipment

I used my Canon 7D2 with non stabilised 180 mm Canon lens with 1.4x extender. My equipement have changed since that shot.

Inspiration

The inspiration for this photo was having viewer's questionning on what it really was. I wanted to create this little wet forest like jewels hanging on the trees.

Editing

I did some framing , little colors and contrast adjustments

In my camera bag

For macrophotography, i have my camera, a 100mm or a 180mm macro lenses,. For wildlife photography i add a 150-600mm Zoom and for sports i use a 70-200 mm zoom . I have also an air blower, cleaning clothes, additional batteries and cards ans some plastic bags for preventing condensation during winter days.

Feedback

Because the green moss was on the ground between stone blocks, i take a little part of it and i do my shooting on an outdoor table.I put back the moss in place after that
