Behind The Lens

Location

Botaanikaaed (botanical garden) in Tartu, Estonia.

Time

Around midday.

Lighting

The plant was growing in a glass house and the light was pretty diffused.

Equipment

I used my favourite lens - the Nikkor 105mm micro.

Inspiration

Wanted to do a different take on common subject.

Editing

No post-processing.

In my camera bag

Nikon D160 with my favourite two lenses - the 105 micro and the 50mm 1.4.

Feedback

First do a walk around, take a few shots, move away from the subject, review the shots, shoot something else and come back to the former subject, the lighting might have changed or you would have come up with a different approach or angle.
