Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Fredrik Meijer Garden's in Grand Rapids Michigan. Beautiful place to visit if you have never been.

Time

This photo was taken in the early afternoon. The sun was shining just right through the conservatory glass to really show off the beauty of this moth!

Lighting

This was shot using natural light through a glass conservatory on a sunny day.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D40 my favorite camera!

Inspiration

This Moth was just so striking! I had to attempt to capture it's beauty.

Editing

A lot of my photos I keep raw. This photo I did do a little bit of processing using filters to give it the extra push.

In my camera bag

I normally carry a couple of lenses just basic ones and a flash, and a couple of lense fitters.

Feedback

Just look around you. Check for the right angle to fully capture the beauty of nature. Sometimes changing you position takes a photo from bland to interesting. I also usually shoot several photos of a subject making slight adjustments that I can review later to see which is the perfect shot.
