Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at my back yard. It was cold day and the fly just sitting all day long on one place. I saw this and at first took my camera and made several shoot, then I took tripod and made better shoots.Time
The photo was taken at 15:11 AM October 15, 2015.Lighting
It was ordinary cold autumn day - the best time for shooting insect in the environment!Equipment
This was shoot with Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II and Olympus lens 60mm f2.8 macro without flash from Manfrotto 190 tripod.Inspiration
I like macro photography. I try to shoot insect in the environment without killing or catching them.Editing
Here I used Lightroom with general color correction. Then I used Photoshop for focus stacking, I made sever shoots with different point of focus.In my camera bag
I usually have in my bag my Olympus E-M5 II with best three PRO lenses 12-40 f2.8, 40-150 f2.8 and 7-14 f2.8 from Olympus and time to time Panasonic DG Summilux 25mm f1.4 and Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro. I have flash with me of course and mini tripod manfrotto.Feedback
Don't be lazy inspite of weather! )) Make more photo, remember about golden hours for photo and good luck!
