Behind The Lens
Location
I took the shot in my garden with a 100 mm f2.8 canon macro lens, retrospectively I wish I had used a slightly higher aperture so that the flower in the middle was in focus. It was just daylight on an average day.Time
I took the photo in the middle of the morning from memory but in my north facing Garden there isn't many months were we get full sun on the raised bed at the end of the Garden.Lighting
the camera was set to auto white Balance as I always shoot in RAW and sort the lighting out at the development stage in LightroomEquipment
I used a Canon 6d Mk1 with the canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens, available light and a Manfrotto ART 038 Pneumatic tripod.Inspiration
The beauty created by nature and the fact that the flowers looked like faces, the colours were so rich and vibrantEditing
Yes I did do some post processing but I try to keep it light as my wife does not like the over processed look that you see so often these days.In my camera bag
