Behind The Lens
Location
In my house. My Mum received a beautiful bunch of flowers and I saw this orange lily and had to take a picture of it.Time
Around midday.Lighting
I always feel natural lighting is best as flash drowns out the background light of an image so this image definitely looks better with natural lighting.Equipment
I used a Sony a58 with a 18 - 55mm lens.Inspiration
It was around March and spring was coming around and all of the flowers were starting to blossom. I thought it would be nice to take an image of the flower to show spring was well and truly here.Editing
I made the image a bit brighter and cropped it slightly but not much post processing was required.In my camera bag
I have my Song a58 as well as a number of lens: 18 -55mm lens, Sigma 35 - 75mm, Tamron 70 - 210mm and Minolta 28 - 80mm lens.Feedback
To try and get as close as possible to the subject. I really wanted to capture the very centre of the flower and try and make it as detailed as possible.
