beautiful picture, wish mine turned out as well :) even got the little bit that flies use to sense air currents to warn them to fly away

isn't that incredible. insects need way more respect. it's quite arrogant of us to dismiss them (although I try not to) due to their size

Behind The Lens

Location

the photo was taken at my home in koh samui, where i life over 23years now. i am self taught photographer and learn all by myself and want learn more with every photo.

Time

this was taken on 22.January 2017 afternoon at 16.53 o'clock

Lighting

i used a flash with the softbox.

Equipment

this was shot on a 5d mark 3 with the 24-70mm Tamron lens and a tripod from manfrotto.

Inspiration

in this moment i saw the robberfly sitting on our Clothes line and don't fly away, so built up my camera and flash and started to shot her.

Editing

usually i use first lightroom for the processing and bring as to photoshop to finnish the processing.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag in my camerabag i have always a 5d mark 3 and a lens with 16-35 mm, 100-400mm, 100mm macro lens, 24-70mm lens and one flash.
