Behind The Lens
Location
in my home in the dining room on the dining tableTime
not sure about time of day but it was daylight hoursLighting
used some natural light coming from window and flashgun attached to cameraEquipment
camera was my trusty nikon d50 though old is a great piece of kit also used a manfrotto tripod with 804rc2 head also camera mounted nissin di622 flash. along with this i used white card as a light bounce and black card for the background to stop any reflection and shadowsInspiration
I like taking pictures of flowers and nature and after reading about different lighting and setting up of shots of various objects in a studio environment i would experiment with setting up shots to see what i can achieve using some flowers bought from the supermarket and some basic inexpensive kit.Editing
There was some post processing using photoshop elements for white balance and colour intensity followed by layers masking layer and eraser tool.Make a layer then duplicate layer convert to black and white use eraser tool to show colours on bottom layer then merge down and one colour popped flowerIn my camera bag

Not sure what to say except what ever idea you come up with go with it experiment with different settings and angles till you get the shot that was what you saw in your head you don't need lots of expensive gear just play with your camera.
