#Flower macro sticky stigma poppy

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my garden, I grow a plenty of flowers because love them and they invites bugs and butterflies as well what is a perfect opportunity to create a nice picture.

Time

I remember this day was a sunny wednesday on last may, I was watering my plants approximate 10am when noticed the beauty of this poppy switched my camera and put my favourite macro lens on and made it.....

Lighting

There was a perfect natural light on that day I did not use flash or any extra lighting.

Equipment

This was a hand-hold shot on a sony a57 camera with an 70mm f 2.8 sigma macro lens. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

Wanted to improve my flower macro skills and to post for judge from differrent photographers.

Editing

I took it in jpeg, did not edit just a little bit cropped....

In my camera bag

My favourite thing what I always pack in my bag near to my sony camera are: sigma 70mm f 2.8 macro, sony 16-50mm f2.8.... Macro is my real passion so I always take my macro lens.

Feedback

Grow flowers in your house or garden and maintanence them and book a nice day to make photos of them.
