Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Orchids' Exhibition in Budapest in 2018. i

Time

It was around 11 am, and I have to use the available light, which was natural sunlight coming in through the big windows. I couldn't use a tripod, because of the crowd of people, and it was forbidden using flashlights. Using slow shutter speed was not easy to hold my Canon steady to avoid camera shake. I had to make the photos under the arms, between heads and shoulders, because everybody used the mobile phone standing very-very close to the flowers.

Lighting

Nothing special. I was very lucky with the available light. And I like the natural light very much.

Equipment

I used my Canon 700D camera, with a zoom lens EFS 55-250 mm1:4-5:6

Inspiration

The special beauty of this little flower. It has pastel, elegant colors, and interesting, nice form.

Editing

Only sharped a little bit. That was all.

In my camera bag

My Canon 700D camera, Canon zoom lens 55-250 mm, Canon zoom lens 18-135 mm, a tripod or monopod, lens cleaning kit and some filters,

Feedback

I love to shoot flowers in every light condition, even with backlight. If somebody would like to practice to shoot the flowers is one of the best ideas. There are everywhere, they have thousands of different colors and forms, they are very good models - not moving, not blinking, no bad mood.
