Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at Sekipan, Tawangmangu, Karanganyar, Central Java IndonesiaTime
I love the lighting of this photo, I took on May 1st, 2016 around 07:00 AMLighting
For the lighting I use external flash with DIY diffuser and aluminum foil below the object as reflectorEquipment
Camera 600D, Manual Lens Domiplan 50mm, Manual Extensions tube, External Flash Yuongno YN460, DIY diffuserInspiration
I saw this is a unique bug, he have hairy body so thought it will be great If I shot with external flash and reflected to fill in the rim lightEditing
Just minor editing, shadow, sharpening, croppingIn my camera bag
Normally I bring Kitlens, 50mm Manuales Lens, Extension tubeFeedback
When shot macro, please considering the lighting so our photo have a wonderful dimension beside the moment
