Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at my hometown in Kuala Lipis, Pahang, Malaysia. I was trying out my new Tamron SP 60mm Macro Lens and this photo was one of the first few shots taken with the lens and my Canon EOS 60D camera.

Time

The photo was taken on February 10, 2013 at 11.56 am.

Lighting

Only natural light was the source of lighting.

Equipment

I was using Canon EOS 60D camera with Tamron SP 60mm Macro Lens.

Inspiration

I was searching to take beautiful Macro shots with the new lens that I've just bought. I found this Pitcher plant near some bushes. Pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant whose prey trapping mechanism features a deep cavity filled with liquid known as a pitfall trap.

Editing

Yes I did some post-processing and photo cropping. However I could not recall which editing software did I use. It could be either Photoshop Elements or Lightroom at that time. Currently I'm using a mix of Luminar and Photoshop Express for my editing tools.

In my camera bag

Currently I am using Fujifilm X-Pro2. I have also collected a wide range of lenses for the camera. Previously, I was using Fujifilm X-E2. My current collection of Fujifilm lenses are XF 18-55mm, 23mm, 10-24mm, 18-135mm, 56mm, 60mm and 100-400mm. I always bring along my Fujifilm X-Pro2 with XF 18-135mm and 56mm lenses in my small bag anywhere I go. They would be very handy if I find any interesting photo to take when I travel. However, I always keep the rest of the lenses, flash, tripod and other camera accessories in my car and shall use them when necessary. I use the prime lens for special purposes. The XF 23mm for street photography, 56mm for potrait & bokeh shoots and 60mm for macros. And XF 10-24mm for landscape & shooting the stars and 100-400mm for birding.

Feedback

Firstly, find some unique subjects and locations to shoot. Take note on the natural lighting and exposure during the shoot. I try to avoid too bright shots. As Malaysia is a tropical country, I would prefer to take my day shots in the early mornings or late afternoons. This is because it suits natural lighting very well and furthermore the temperature is not too hot.
