Location
It was taken outdoors in my home town, Gothenburg, SwedenTime

No lightning, just the daylight.Equipment
I used my handheld Sony A5100 along with the standard lens and a Raynox DCR-250 snap on.Inspiration
I was out on one of my snail safaris, when I caught this lazy fly on a leaf.Editing
I usually use the Pixlr app in my phone. I don't remember exactly what was done with this particular photo, but it seems I may have increased the saturation and contrast a bit.In my camera bag
It totally depends on what I intend to take photos of, but either one of my Sony A5100 or A6000 (which I bought more recently because it has the viewfinder the A5100 lacks). My favourite gedget is most definitely the Raynox DCR-250, which helps me get descent macro photos for much cheaper than with a dedicated macro lens.Feedback
Don't breathe, LOL! It's challenging taking macro photos outdoors, if you move just a little bit, the object is out of focus. So with patience, steady hands and a lazy fly, anyone can take a photo like this one.
