Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in fact indoor (office lunch room). This flower was there in a glass jar near window.

Time

This was taken during noon time during my lunch hour in office.

Lighting

As mentioned before, this flower was in a glass jar. That jar was kept on window railing with plenty of sun light. As direct sun light was very harsh, I moved this jar onto the lunch table and took my Panasonic GH4 out to shoot. By sheer luck some colleague who was wearing some green dress was walked near the office fridge to grab something. So her green dress really gave this whole dimension to this shot as if this was taken in nice garden outside. (yes, the blurry background is added bonus due to the fast lens)

Equipment

Its handheld shot. Camera body Panasonic GH4 with Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 Lens. No flash, just window light.

Inspiration

Found this flower very beautiful with ample window light.

Editing

I have edited little bit in Adobe Lightroom mostly adjusted contrast and white balance.

In my camera bag

My staple Camera body is Panasonic GH4 and all purpose goto Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 lens. I also carry Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 Lens.

Feedback

Keep your eyes/mind open for shooting in all weather conditions and different subjects. Observe light/shadows and colors and try different composition shots. Unless its commercial shoots, you will be surprised how your impromptu shots turn out to be your best shots like this one. As my favorite photographer Bryan Peterson say, .."you keep shooting" :)
