Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my garden.I walked past and thought it would make a nice photo I didn't think it would be any good until I saw it later. I am young learner photographer so I was really happy with the way it turned out.

Time

This photo was taken around 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon when I was walking down to my garden to take some photos when I saw this dragonfly on my tomato plant.

Lighting

I thought taking the photo upward was best because the blue sky really defined the dragonfly, I also thought that the black power line suited the photo.

Equipment

I used a Nikon DCM-FZ7 without a tripod, I leaned on a old tyre to keep the camera still.

Inspiration

i just thought that the dragonfly against the sky would look really good. I originally thought that this photo would look better in monochrome but when I saw it I thought "wow that is actually not a bad photo" '

Editing

no this is the original photo

In my camera bag

I usually just have my trusty Nikon DCM-FZ7

Feedback

Just relax when taking the photo and photograph anything that catches your eye, you never know how the photo will turn out so always take multiple photos
