Location
This photo was taken in my garden.It was near a bunch of tree stumps and rocks, there were loads of spide'rs webs which had captured the droplets of water from the previous evening's rain shower.Time
I took this photo in mid morning.Lighting
The night before this was taken it was raining. In the morning I woke up to a foggy day with a magical stillness to it. I don't know if this sort of morning is unique to Scotland but it is incredibly atmospheric. Of course, this had no impact on this little photo apart from the fact that it made me open my eyes and see what I might otherwise have missed.Equipment
For this photo I just used my Iphone4. I've taken some great photos with this phone, it's easy to put in my pocket, I don't even know when I'll upgrade.Inspiration
Well, initially I was just letting my dog out and saw this really cool spider web and ran in to get my phone. But one of the things I like to think about when I take photos is the feeling I get from that moment, I am a music producer and I love to be able to take photos to inspire songs and to use as album covers :)Editing
The only real processing for this photo was on photoshop, I did some shake reduction, I am still very much a novice at editing though (Which is why I try and get the best possible photo so the editing is minimal) so I just messed around with that and some contrasts. I've recently been given Photoshop as a present, before that I used PicMonkey.In my camera bag
I mainly just carry around my phone or sometimes I use my Mum's NIKON D3200.Feedback
Keep your eyes open! It's amazing what's out there. And you don't have to get everything in the photo, just a small section is sometimes better. Honestly, I think anyone can take photos like this...and better...but you'll only do it if you go out there. You don't need fancy equipment, the camera in my phone is only 5 Megapixels. I think that one of the best ways to get a "good" photo is to take a picture of something you personally "like" and keep taking photos, practice not only makes you a better photographer, but it also makes you more aware of what's around you.
