Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken right at my front door... it had been raining and all the tiny little spider webs were glisteningTime
It was taken at high noon, 1pm according to the photo dataLighting
Even though it was midday, the light was "crisp" following the rain though the shadows weren't too harsh because of the cloud coverEquipment
Camera - Nikon D3100 - No extra equipment, hand held - Focal length: 48.0mm; f/6.3; ISO 400Inspiration
When it clears after the rain, lots of little "diamonds" and "gem" sparkle - so I can get lost inside a macro world for ages just outside my front doorEditing
My post-processing skills are extremely minimal and clunky at best... I usually just make a basic tonal/contrast/sharpen adjustments via my Picasa storage system . Occasionally I'll play with the free-standing Pic Monkey programme but not with this image...In my camera bag
I don't regard myself as a "photographer" so I don't have a bag, as such... my camera is always at the ready, usually on my desk or bench behind me - at best, I use a soft PJ bag before it gets thrown in my backpack :-)Feedback
No advice except to get out there with a camera and enjoy a whole other world through a lens. Take lots of images, keep observing, learning and experimenting with angles, light, composition etc... technically, I have no idea what I'm doing but, for me, that makes it all the more enjoyable and challenging and extremely rewarding when I get a shot that "works" and, even more amazing, an image that other people like. :-)
