Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at my in laws house, I was lucky enough to have brought my camera along.

Time

This is one of my favorite photos that I have captured because of the lighting and color. It was evening time and the sun was in the process of going down.

Lighting

The lighting was very soft and I like the contrast it gave the color of the grass and mushroom.

Equipment

This photo was taken with a Nikon D3200 camera and a Tamron 70-300mm macro lens. No other equipment was used except I can't forget to give a shout out to my awesome mother in law for helping me with the frog ;-) we had to work fast!!

Inspiration

I love taking pictures outside and of anything that has to do with nature. My mother in law and I share the same passion for photography and she knew that I would appreciate the cluster of mushrooms growing at the end of the driveway. She mentioned she wanted to show them to me and that she had already gotten a few pictures earlier that day. When my son who was playing outside around the pool found a frog I couldn't grab my camera fast enough!

Editing

When I say I used photoshop I am by no means a pro. I use only the basics and am limited in knowledge when it come to photoshop.

In my camera bag

I don't really have much equipment so I usually just have my camera and a lens.

Feedback

It's kind of funny to look back on this day. We would take turns placing the frog on the mushroom of choice and lay in the grass shooting till he would jump off and we would scramble to catch him and carefully place him back on. The sun was going down so we knew we were limited on time and had to work fast.
