Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was actually taken in my bathroom. I needed a place where I could get the room completely black so the glow from the jellyfish can really stand out.Time
This was taken in the afternoon. In order to get the jellyfish to glow I had leave it by the window sill to absorb as much light as possible for about an hour, before I took it into the darkness.Lighting
I wanted to under expose the photo so the light from the jellyfish can do all the work.Equipment
I used my old Olympus pl-2 camera. I didn't have any fancy equipment, as a matter of fact I didn't have any equipment expect a camera.Inspiration
I loved the beautiful glow that came from the jellyfish and I just wanted to share it with everybody. That's mostly my inspiration for all my photos, I see something beautiful and I just want to share it with everyone.Editing
Yes, in Lightroom. I increased the contrast, made sure you couldn't see anything in background, increase the saturation of the blue, and sharpened it a bit, to get it to really pop.In my camera bag
Since this photo was taken, I have upgraded my camera to a Olympus OM-D E-M10. My go to lens is Lumix G Vario 14-140mm. I'm not a big time photographer and I can't definitely afford the nicer cameras and lens but you don't need the expensive stuff to capture a great photo.Feedback
You don't need a studio, fancy lighting equipment. I literally shot this in my bathroom with the lights off and put the camera on a stack of books to substitute for a tripod.
