Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on my deck in Michigan. I grow containers of wildflowers for butterflies and hummingbirds. I am a self taught photgrapher and just like to take photos of things I find fascinating to me.Time
I'm not sure the time of day. Usually I carry my camera with me out in the yard while checking the gardens. But I do find the lighting in this particular location better in the evening as the sun is setting.Lighting
Like I said I'm sure I took this in the evening around the time the sun is setting. I don't find taking photos on bright sunny days it doesn't shows the true color of what you are trying to photo. I try to take photos more towards evening or on cloudy days.Equipment
I use a Nikon 3200d camera. I did not use a flash. It was a macro lens, handheld and manual focus.Inspiration
I just thought it would be a unique photo of a flower right before it completely opened up. It almost looked like it was ready to burst and you could see what it was going to look like before it opened up.Editing
If anything, sharpened, brightened.In my camera bag
My camera, 5 lenses, cleaners and several batteries. Sometimes I carry my tripod but not too often.Feedback
My advice is wherever you go make sure your camera goes with you.
