Behind The Lens
Location
It was in a park that I come across daily on route to work, lot of great subjects to take photos of here, from scenes to wild-lives and critters, this was a day I geared myself to explore the macro fantasy world.Time
Taken early in the morning on route to work when the humidity was high, looking for close-up subjects and found this little guy wandering.Lighting
It's an overcast morning, while working only the camera and tripod, this was a great opportunity to exercise exploration, innovate, and patience to find the right angle, composition to best utilize the available light source for the photo.Equipment
Simply my Nikon DSLR with a macro lens and a tripod, nothing else really.Inspiration
I had a macro lens on the camera and was the whole different world of macro photography I was exercising that day, and while it was wet and humid out there I know that these small subjects would be ideal to photograph, so I explored to find the right subject, scene, composition.Editing
Typically with macro photography, I apply minimal post-processing except for finesse touch on colour, contrast and saturation. Neither was this a stacked photo either that require the extra processing.In my camera bag
Aside from the camera and depending on what I am planning to shoot, I usually have a couple of lenses with me, between a wide, a tele, and a prime/macro. ND filter and tripod often keep my company, in terms of essential accessories like batteries, and cleaning tools like blower and lens cloth are must.Feedback
My philosophy of utilizing what gear I have on hand, make use of the most out of the gear, the setting around, and the technique, will always obtain rewarding shots.
