Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was take in the wild blueberry fields of Downeast Maine.

Time

It was taken right after a big rain storm in the late afternoon/ early evening.

Lighting

The lighting was almost perfect, no flash required. It was light enough to show the water droplets but not so bright that it created other lighting issues.

Equipment

This was shot with a Pentax K-x and standard 35-50mm lens.

Inspiration

The fresh rain and the bright red foliage with the glittering droplets just really caught my eye.

Editing

Actually there was not much post processing, just a few small adjustments in contrast and exposure, but other than that it was a natural shot.

In my camera bag

Usually my Pentax k-x, or my Canon Rebel. I also always have my camera phone on me, an LG G5. Sometimes I can get great shots with my phone and can perfect upon them with my cameras, also it tends to be more versatile in some situations.

Feedback

Be patient, I took me over an hour to get the shot I wanted, I had some other decent ones, but I knew there was a better one there. Experiment, a different angle could be just your image over the line between decent and amazing!
