Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture on the patio at my sister's home. She had an echeveria blooming. I had never seen an echeveria blooming before and thought the bloom was so pretty. I am a self-taught photographer with a husband who supports my hobby whole-heartedly. We go on trips with picture taking as the main focus. I love it!Time
It was during the early afternoon when I took the picture. The plant was on a walled in patio so I didn't have harsh light to contend with at all.Lighting
I took the photo using available light. The flare was a bonus.Equipment
I just took the picture with my Nikon camera. No flashes, special lens, tripod, etc.Inspiration
The beauty of the bloom was my inspiration.Editing
I did post-processing on the flare and the color to enhance the picture.In my camera bag
I usually just have my camera and maybe, my tripod with me to take my pictures.Feedback
I wish I knew more about taking pictures to give out advice. I just feel lucky most of the time. Of course, I take tons of bad pictures, too!!
