Just a great shot, taken when rusk was a kitten, using a Canon 350D, 200mm Telephoto.

While walking down this street in Freemantle, I noticed yellow lines of paint appearing randomly. When I got to the end, I asked what it all meant. Th

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo of a gum leaf was taken in a magical valley, near Bendigo Victoria, Australia.

Time

It was taken at sunrise on June 21, when Australia transitions from Winter to Spring.

Lighting

Lighting was natural, only enhanced by the mysteries of the seasons changing

Equipment

It was taken with a Canon 6D, using a 90mm Macro lens

Inspiration

Just the water drops on this leaf, making me think how wonderful nature can be

Editing

Only a little bit of post processing. Used Photoshop Elements to add a Rainbow layer below the original, after removing the raindrops. It was my first attempt at doing this type of processing, thus the magical outcome.

In my camera bag

My Canon 6D, a 17- 41mm WA, a 70-200 Telephoto, a 2x converter. AND of course a spare battery, never leave home without one. Since changing to a Mac, I have now given photoshop the boot, and am using Affinity Photo.

Feedback

Anything is possible in the world of photography and post processing, providing you have the foresight to use your imagination and to tell a story.
