Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my garden at Duncans Creek, NSW

Time

It was around lunch time under the shade

Lighting

Putting my ISO higher and lowering my shutter speed made up for the fact I was in a well shaded area, I also liked the way the natural light was seeping in through the opposite direction lighting the leaf.

Equipment

I used my Canon 1100D, 18-55mm lens and a spray bottle to get the droplets happening

Inspiration

Before taking this photo I had previously seen some amazing 'droplets on flowers' photos from the Droplets On Flowers Photo Contest, I had no flowers opened at the time, but loved the idea.

Editing

Using Photoshop Elements I de-saturated the leaf keeping most the droplets in full colour

In my camera bag

The essentials are always in my bag. Camera, lens, and more important cleaning gear!

Feedback

When capturing droplets, try not to go to far and saturate the leaf or flower, in most cases the effect will work better on a complete dry leaf.
