Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was shot in Vancouver BC Canada.

Time

It was taken in the late afternoon

Lighting

It was a normal sunny day.

Equipment

I used a Sony an Alpha II with an 18-135 lens

Inspiration

Sorry, there was no particular inspiration for taking this photo. I shot over 100 photos of everything in the garden. I tried to pick a flower that offered an interesting position.

Editing

I passed the photo through Photoshop to get the most interesting cropping and did some contrast enhancement to bring out the color of the flower

In my camera bag

Very little. I travel light. I seldom carry my bag, so what I have in my hand is what I have to work with. I keep a tripod in my car, but seldom use it.

Feedback

The best advice I can offer for taking any photo is to be observant. Everything is photo worthy if you can find the angle to shoot it.
