Behind The Lens

Location

This photo is taken in early springtime in my back garden.

Time

About 1 pm on the cloudy gloomy day.

Lighting

What we expecting in a gloomy day but it was good no harsh light on there, so I use remote flash on the left side of photo with a macro light diffuser with the manual mood in flash, kept 1/16th hardness.

Equipment

I use a tripod, d750, Sigma 105mm 2.8G macro lens, flash with diffuser. Post process in LR and PS.

Inspiration

I hardly woke up early but when I woke up I usually go to the garden to refresh my self by watching flowers and bee and I realize this new spring flowers grew so fast in couples of day and I always appreciate every living thing beauty so how could I stopped myself to hug this beauty with my camera??!!

Editing

Yes, I usually use LR and PS to finish my photo, it was shot in RAW format so I bring the colour up and bit sharpness down and black up. And use PS for my sign on

In my camera bag

It was in my garden so I didn't prepare anything for a shoot. But I would go out for a macro photo shoot I would recommend carrying tripod, remote, additional battery, macro lens (105mm or higher) and FX camera, light diffuser, cleaning clothes and blower.

Feedback

Normally when we shoot flowers we use normal lens but if you need sharp details and creamy background choose the macro lens.
