Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo when I first got my macro lens. 105mm sigma. My daughter was small and found a bee that died on the windowsill and said "daddy bee" She had some coloring paper on the table and I thought that may make a good shot. So I propped it up on a pin, put the coloring paper behind it used 3 small flashlights to light it and did a mini photo shoot. I squirted a bit of water on it to make it a bit more interesting too. I find these shots fun to do and will likely start shooting again once my second kid is in school. I'm a self taught experimenter that has mild color blindness so I can't color edit, sadly. So all my shots are exactly the color that came out or black and white. If you see a shot of mine that has out of wack color that was me trying.

Time

mid afternoon

Lighting

The 3 flashlights looked like a mini studio... I wish I took a shot of the setup.

Equipment

Nikon with a sigma lens

Inspiration

the moment

Editing

This was a stacked photo. ( I don't know the term ) but I took about 30 shots at different focal points and then stitched them together for clarity. I used photoshop to get rid of the pin as well.

In my camera bag

I only have the one camera a nikon and I usually stick to the sigma lense.

Feedback

Patience to set it up and make sure the lighting is really good.
