Behind The Lens
Location
Taken at my home in Cornwall UK. I have a very small fold up lighting studio.Time
I honestly do not remember !Lighting
I used a ring flash.Equipment
Camara used was a Nikon D300 with Sigma 50 mm 2.8 Macro , Calumet tripod.Inspiration
I have an interest in insects, I look for dead spcimens to shoot, the Hover Fly was in good condition. I shot in its back and made the insect ;ok loke it was standing upright .Editing
Lightroom, then Tiffen DfXIn my camera bag
Nikon D300, Kodak DCSPro 14N, Olympus C5050 Z and an old Sony with a a floppy disc memory ! Youngo TTK flash and a ring flash. Tokina 12-28 2.8. Tokina 80-400. Sigma 50mm macro.Feedback
I like to present the image in a different way, Infra red is a must, Tiffen DfX is great for this. Now using as a trial, Luminar. And of course, Lightroom ( a must) is the the initial software then I feed into DfX.
