Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in my backyard in Grand-Barachois, NB, Canada.

Time

This was taken early morning not too long after the sun had risen

Lighting

Just natural daylight

Equipment

The shot was handheld , taken with a Nikon D810 and a Tamron 90mm VC USD lens.

Inspiration

I wanted to capture a tiny world of water droplets resting on the fine structure of the dandelion.

Editing

Not much to process other than cropping and sharpening in PS.

In my camera bag

My bag is usually landscape oriented. I have a full set of Lee filters for my 16-35 F4 along with my Nikon D810.

Feedback

Make sure yo wait for a day when the wind is very weak. Erly morning is a great time to capture natural water droplets on flowers.
