Behind The Lens
Location
In the cul-de-sac where I live. I had just moved back to the family home in Pentwater, MI. Reconnecting with my surroundings.Time
It was mid afternoon in early September 2015.Lighting
Sunlight in the woods. They were covered from direct sunlight by oak trees.Equipment
Well, all my photos have been taken with whatever cell phone I have. This one I believe was taken with a Samsung 5 or 6.Inspiration
Milkweeds are an odd things. If punctured as a pod a milky substance is let loose. If left alone, one sees these white strands with a seed on the end. I thought it very interesting how they clung to the pod but exuded such simple beauty.Editing
It was beautiful plain but a bit washed out so I used the auto selection. Played with the light, color, and pop to get to what my eyes were seeing.In my camera bag
I have no expensive equipment in my bag. I only carry my cellphone. Snap a few of the same image and choose the best.Feedback
What I've noticed is the more you snap of same object, it is different by fractions but may have captured more of its true beauty.
