Location
It was taken on a farm with a dam full of these beauties!Time
Late afternoon.Lighting
It was a part cloudy day with even lighting, the Sun occasionally peeked through the clouds as they moved and the reflection of the water created a interesting backlit effect on the lilies nearby.Equipment
Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 LensInspiration
The sunlight reflection of the water that caused the glowing effect on the lilies.Editing
Very minimal on post processing, only slight increase on saturation and a little more on the contrast plus some vignette.In my camera bag
Nikon D800 camera body, Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens, Tamrons 70-200 f2.8 lens, a spare battery, SD cards, a rain cover, and a reflector.Feedback
I always keep a lookout for interesting lights and reflections, pay attention to where the light bounce on subjects and its surrounding. It's also good to experiment with different compositions, height, angles and perspectives.
