Behind The Lens

Location

In my hometown Brasov - Romania

Time

I took the picture on 14.10.2015 at 10:00, in a cool October morning. After several hours of walking around the Old City while trying to capture the sun rising over the buildings from the fifteenth century, I got tired, stopped on a bench and watched the grass at my feet.

Lighting

Sun raised above a tall building and unveiled a different world in this macro picture, a world where tiny grains of dew on leaves sparkled in the sunlight. Dew drops seemed to be crystals and light changed their brilliance every second.

Equipment

This was shot on Pentax K5 /Vivitar 105mm f2.5 macro,no tripod or flash

Inspiration

After several hours of walking around the Old City while trying to capture the sun rising over the buildings from the fifteenth century, I got tired, stopped on a bench and watched the grass at my feet. In my bag, I had this lens borrowed from a very busy friend and he kindly asked me to test the lens as the reviews were very good. As I was sitting on the bench, I noticed the wet grass and thought it was worth to give it a shot. And God, it worth it! Unfortunately, I had to give it back, but nevertheless I fell in love with the macro photography.

Editing

If I remember corectly, I enhanced just a little contrast and clarity in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Pentax K1000, yes K1000 - the film camera/ Pentax K5/Pentax K01/ Tamron17-50 f2.8/ Sears 55mm f1.4/ Rokinon 85mm f1.4

Feedback

Personally I'm not looking for a specific image, I walk around and let them come to me
