Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in the beautiful protected area (landscape park) in Czech Republic. This area was proclaimed already in 1972 and you can find there protected flora and fauna and also is there located plenty of valuable geological profiles.Time
The photo was taken just before sunset in spring this year. The light was truly magical.Lighting
Pulsatilla Pratensis is very photogenic flower. For this reason I wanted to enhance her beauty with the help of warm tones that are in the spring during the sunset truly magical.Equipment
This shot was taken with my Canon DSLR. I used just natural light, flash did not fire. The image was photographed from the hand, I use a tripod only occasionally.Inspiration
This flower is protected and in my country there are only a few places where it occurs in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many people do not respect regulation in protected areas and destroys the environment in which these flowers grow as well as destroying the flowers themselves, for example by tearing it. That's why I decided to create every year at least a few pictures of this beautiful flower.Editing
I didn't do so much post - processing. I just corrected the white balance to add more warm tones and I also did some basic exposure corrections.In my camera bag
In my camera bag I normally have my Canon DSLR with various lenses that cover the short and long focal length. Of course there are also filters, spare batteries and memory cards and other small accessories.Feedback
It is important to choose the right flowers, as some may be, for example, already overblown. It is essential to choose the right time of day for photography - these beautiful flowers look best at sunrise on the morning or in the evening around the time of sunset because the light is soft enough and in a pleasant shade that raise the beauty of these flowers.
