Location
This photograph was taken in my mother's garden - although she may not have the best green thumb (Good Lord strike me dead at the mere thought), she does take pride in her work. This was one of the plants she enjoyed the most, due to it's minimal tending.Time
From what I recall, this photograph was taken during the late afternoon, around 4 o'clock.Lighting
Not especially, no. It was an average sunny day.Equipment
This photograph was quite simple to produce - an entry level DSLR was used, the Nikon D3100, utilizing a Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens.Inspiration
I often find inspiration in nature, but the nature genre always seems stale to me- so many photographs of the same composition, the same style. With these photographs, I endeavored to change the norm, capture the differences. These images were recently selected as a series, and range over my years of active study.Editing
Yes. I I created a vignetting effect in Pixlr Express, using overlays and bold contrast. The color was also bumped up.In my camera bag
My current bag includes the Nikon D5500, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6, Holga 60mm f/8, Lensbaby 50mm f/2.0, and Rokinon 8mm f/3.5. I carry them around in a Bestek tan camera bag, and on occasion use a borrowed tripod and soft-boxes for portraits.Feedback
Not particularly - this photo could be quite easily replicated with the desire to do so. This photo was made more impressive by the relationship of the subject and the behavior of the photo editing.
