Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at a plant nursery and flower shop, I was impressed by the vivid colors and the light, so snapped a few photos of these African daisies.

Time

It was in the morning, approx. 9am-10am if I recall correctly.

Lighting

A nice overcast day with nice soft light without any distractions.

Equipment

Canon 7D2mkII, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 (f2.8, 190mm, 1/200s, ISO160)

Inspiration

The lighting, the colors and the various stages of opening up of the osterospermum flowers.

Editing

Captured in RAW, developed in RawTherapee and edited in GIMP to make the colors and details stand out better.

In my camera bag

Camera, 70-200mm lens, 24-70mm lens, small flash for casual photography.

Feedback

Have your camera with you, be on the lookout for opportunities.
