Behind The Lens

Location

I shot this little cutie near my house. Where I used to spend most of my time there. It is a tropical rain-forest. It is hot and wet in most of the time.

Time

It is one of my favorite photos been taken. The frog is a new species of a flying frog. Frog used to be active in night. I found the flying frog around 11.00pm in the middle of the rain-forest.

Lighting

In macro, lighting is a essential tool for the photographer. A DIY diffuser was created by my own for most of my macro photography. The diffuser is modified from time to time too. This is to make sure the light fired to the subject is soft enough.

Equipment

This was shot using Sony SLT A77 with a Sony SAL 100MM F2.8 plus a Sony flashlight 43M. While to stabilize the gear, I using a Manfrotto tripod to reach it.

Inspiration

Macro is a photography that require the photographer to be ready in everything, physically and mentally. Be positive in every creatures we met, they do interesting, while we need to be patients enough to get it.

Editing

A good DIY diffuser for the flashlight will help a macro photographer to be get rid from post-processing. But always shoot in raw is a basic step to reserve the full details of the photos.

In my camera bag

Macro photography might need to be easy going. So a light pack will help in macro.

Feedback

Macro photography is nothing to do with gear but the patient to the nature. Do enjoy it in every little one we met. Mother nature always gave us the best she have.
