Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken out the front of a friends house where I used to visit to find peace & calm.

Time

It was early morning after raining.. roughly 10am.

Lighting

It was natural light I used, no flashes or set up for this shot. Nature was doing the work for me.

Equipment

Canon EOS 800D with standard portrait lense.

Inspiration

The appearance of the waterdrop on the leaf looks like a peace sign and I could not help myself but to capture that moment where nature was showing me a sign.

Editing

No post editing at all used. Just a raw natural shot using mother natures light.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 800D, tele lense, portrait lense, 2 cleaning clothes, camera manual and a tripod. I am yet to purchase a flash etc..!

Feedback

Natural light can be used for a lot of outdoor subjects. We just have to find the right angle so as to not have the subject in direct sunlight. Soft lighting at its best.
