Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken on my campus at the University of Namibia. I was looking for something that is beautiful and yet overlooked.Time
It was around midday after stumbling around searching for out of the ordinary objects I came across the "fruit" and thought the colors were fantasticLighting
Natural light. Always has a way of adding some drama to a scene.Equipment
I used a macro lens and dslr both canon. A 60mm efs and 550D respectively.Inspiration
I wanted to create something that would give character to overlooked and in most cases unseen beauty.Editing
Yes I used photoshop express to change the colour's, the Orton preset I think, putting the background in black and white while keeping the "fruit" in its crowning glory. Slight contrast and sharpness adjustments were also made.In my camera bag
An 18-55 mm lens, 60mm macro and a 550D canon dslr.Feedback
Yes. Get very low, physically. Use f2.8 to create slight background blur and focus on the "fruit". ISO should be low as possible to maintain sharpness and reduce noise
