Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on my back deck at home which in growing these in a deck planter I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did growing in a non-native location of North Carolina in southeast United States. Summer is the only season here to enjoy these beauties and I guess the conditions were just right for this specie from Australia to be enjoyed here for a few months.

Time

I believe it was mid morning and on my deck at that time of day the sun was shaded so as not to be to bright on the plant.

Lighting

It was not a bright sunny morning so it seemed fairly easy to set the camera for proper light exposure.

Equipment

Canon Power Shot SX 16S

Inspiration

I think the fascination of how well this plant adapted to the soil and weather conditions in a deck planter!

Editing

No this is the original.

In my camera bag

Just the camera and ethernet cord to connect and transfer to computer.

Feedback

Experimenting with different settings and have fun with the challenge.
