Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my backyard. We have several different variations and colors of hibiscus bushes that create a lush garden oasis for us to retreat into.

Time

It was mid-day and I was looking up at the flowers topping a beautiful pink/peach bush with adjacent trees and sky dappled in the background.

Lighting

I really wanted to capture the vibrant color of the flower backed by an equally lovely bokeh background.

Equipment

I hand held my Nikon D800 camera with 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.

Inspiration

I love capturing the beauty in nature. It's even better when I can do so just by stepping outside my back door.

Editing

I used Lightroom to help make the colors pop but other than basic adjustments I didn't do any hard core processing.

In my camera bag

I have my D800 along with my 70-200mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 lenses.

Feedback

My advice first and foremost is to look up! You would be surprised how much beauty awaits just on the edge of the horizon!
