Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture at my home! was surprised to see the weta out in the middle of the day thay don't come out much during the day.

Time

Was around 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Lighting

Was really sunny I got down to ground level and took the photo the sun was behind me.

Equipment

I shot this with my Samsung galaxy s7 edge.

Inspiration

Love to take photos of bugs was lucky enough to see this weta out in the middle of the day so got to take lots of snaps at it. Really like the way the weta flears up when you get close to it.

Editing

I touched it up on Instagram brighter and sharper it up.

In my camera bag

Always have my Samsung galaxy s7 edge close bye and a Canon 400d rebel with the standard lens.

Feedback

If you get a bug to sit there long enough you can take lots of photos of it get the right angle and the right light.
