Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at my home, in my backyard, in Belle River, ON. I am a self-taught photographer who was inspired to take this photo for a Facebook Group called FMS Photo a Day. I love to learn new things and push myself to the edge with my own creativity.Time
This is one of my favourite photos taken. It was a dreary cold January morning as you can see from the glass fogging up, and didn't decide to rain until I set my equipment outside. I look out at this tree everyday and love it in any season.Lighting
I like taking photos on foggy or cloudy days, they tend to work out better for me.Equipment
This was shot with a Sony SLT-A58. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
I was looking for a daily photo to take for the prompt "landscape" on FMS Photo A Day, then it hit me ... the tree! It was the only landscape idea I had.Editing
Fortunately, this photo was taken straight out of camera, with no further editing.In my camera bag
I always have my macro lens in my bag, and is usually my go-to lens for most thing, along with my macro ring. My next favourite lens is my 18-55mm.Feedback
Take a lot of photos, and don't be afraid to fill up your SD card! Normally, I don't take enough and tend to go back and have to set up my equipment again. Also, don't be afraid to be a perfectionist - if you have an idea in your head, go for it.
