This looks like a Kenna or a hibiscus to me, but may be it is an orchid if you say so.

Behind The Lens

Location
This was taken in a nice little rose-garden park by my house. I go there often to shoot folowers and urban fauna :-)
Time
Wow, this is a very old shot, I really don't remember the time of day!
Lighting
This would have been all ambient lighting
Equipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and 85mm F1.8 lens. This is an older shot, I wouldn't have had much other equipment back then.
Inspiration
The park is a pretty place to hang out and learn! It's only about 1/4 mile from my house, so it's a good place to go unwind and play.
Editing
I'd have still been shooting in JPG when this was taken - I would have used Photoshop Elements to massage this a bit, but I wouldn't have had enough data in the JPG to take it too far
In my camera bag
These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.
Feedback
Shoot in RAW when possible. Even if you end up converting straight to jpg, you'll at least have more room to correct light and white balance issues
