Behind The Lens

Location

Hola Amigos ¡¡ This photo was taken on my home garden

Time

This photo was taken on a Sunday morning, I used to practice taking flowers, birds or bugs.

Lighting

That morning was a cloudy day, but bright enough to allow me to take the photo by hand

Equipment

To take this photo I used my Nikon D5200 with the kit lens a 18 - 50 mm Nikkor, and a 2 x glass amplifier.

Inspiration

I have been a photo enthusiast since I remember, and as a salesmen, fisherman, hunter and outdoor enthusiast, I am fortunate to travel a lot, but I used to take photos, as every body does, and today I regret my self for not having spent more time learning the basics photo techniques, and takes better photos in so many beautiful places, that I definitively never more I´ll be there. So I am spending more time learning and practicing photo techniques, starting with flowers and bugs, and reading a lot and practicing astrophotography, and involved in communities like ViewBug, learning from others and shearing my photos, for me to be better prepare for my future photos opportunities, ViewBug for me is like a dream.

Editing

At that time, more or less one year ago, just used the PC program to improve the image quality, and used to shoot on jpg. Today I am shooting raw, and using lightroom for post processing the image, still learning on practicing every chance I have.

In my camera bag

For this specific image, I used my Nikon D5200 with the kit lens 18-55 mm, today I have a Nikon D750 with 5 different lenses, and more accessories to help on finding the perfect photo, the products offer on this photography business is amazingly large and never ending, so from now on I will spend more time and money traveling and taking photos than buying new equipment.

Feedback

Thanks to all ViewBug member to vote on my image, I am too novice to give a professional advice, but I believe we all need patience to find the right moment, open the eyes to create a good composition, spend time learning all our camera capabilities for a fast shoot, and practice, practice, practice ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Un saludo a todos and nice shooting amigos ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
