Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken near my studio where I produce photos and many other graphics for a variety of businesses and clients.Time
I took this just after sun rise between 7 and 8 am. The sun was lighting up the whole garden I was photographing at the time.Lighting
As it was early morning I used the sun as my light source coming from behind me as it left a gentle warm glow on the petals.Equipment
For this photo I used my Nikon 3000 without a flash. I let the natural sun light work on the subjectInspiration
I love taking macro photos most and how you can capture the tiniest of details in a single photo, such as the veins on a petal or fuzzy spines on stems.Editing
I usually rely on Adobe Lightroom to take care of my post processing but I try to be minimal in my edits as I prefer to let the subject be naturally without extra addins.In my camera bag
I normally carry my Nikon d3000, a hot shoe flash, lenses, Battery and memory cards. I may occasionally take a hood for my lenses if it particularly bright or wet outFeedback
Practice, practice, practice, and take photos of subjects that you like.
