Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in my Garden in Hertfordshire England. I like to keep a photographic record of what flowers grow each year. I love taking macro shots and theses flowers were such a beautiful pinky/purple colour - I couldn't resist. I am very particular about composition and strive to frame my photos perfectly.Time
This photo was taken in the afternoon in the height of summer. I patroll up and down the garden with my camera at the ready, recording my photographic garden diary while soaking in all those happy sunshine vitamins.Lighting
I wanted this photo to be as crisp as possible. The combination of the summer sun and shadows created by my garden fence made for this beautiful photo that I am so proud of..it has such depth, almost a 3-dimensional quality.Equipment
I used my faithful Nikon coolpix L330 bridge camera, the macro feature and my very steady hand.Inspiration
I was inspired by the colours and the desire to produce a photo journal of my garden...my magical fairy garden.Editing
There was no post processing. It didn't need any. :)In my camera bag
I don't have any other equipment other than my Nikon. For me it's all about creating a perfectly framed piece of art. I like the challenge of taking perfect photos using just my talent and no gizmos.Feedback
My advice is to be persistant...take lots and lots throughout the year. Different times of day - different seasons. Carefully review your photos on a big, crisp screen before dismissing any. Most importantly have a purpose for your pictures in mind. A creative end. Otherwise it's just another meaningless photo of a random flower.
