Location

This photo was taken in Western Park, Leicester, UK Spring 2016

Time

It was beginning of the Spring Season. Not a bright day. Clicked in late afternoon. 5-6 pm

Lighting

It was clicked in the natural light.

Equipment

D5300 and basic kit lens (18-55 mm). We used a Gorillapod - flexible tripod. Kept it at ground level and manually focused to achieve optimum sharpness and gave the final release through a camera remote.

Inspiration

The first sign of Spring ie crocus and snowdrops flowers were blooming around. They were still tiny buds as you can see in the pic. We had brought a new Gorillapod - flexible tripod and tried to use it in different angle. We placed the camera on the ground and tried to capture the presentable bunch. :)

Editing

Processing not done.

In my camera bag

D-5300 and basic kit lens. An extra battery, a memory card, and lens cleaning cloth and a portable Gorillapod.

Feedback

Keep Clicking !! Keep Experimenting !! Good Luck. :)
