Around 8amLighting
The light was somewhat harsh with little to no cloud cover. But this was taken in an area of open shade.Equipment
Nikon D610 with a 24-300mm lens. On a tripod.Inspiration
The idea of potential was something I was trying to explore. And here was a flower bud with the potential to blossom into a beautiful flower.Editing
A few adjustments in Lightroom - highlights and shadows, some curves adjustments, and sharpening.In my camera bag
Nikon D610, Nikor 24-300mm lens, Nikor 85mm f/1.4 lens, a large gorilla pod, spare battery, extra SD cards, and a couple of filters (variable ND and polarizing).Feedback
Find a simple design element with either a clean background or the ability to defocus the background in-camera. Find a non-standard angle or an unusual color, or something that caught your attention and try to make that the focus of your shot.
