Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken out of the front of my house, we have a big palm covered with a vine and this little lady had made a beautiful web in amongst the vine leaves.Time
It was in the late afternoon, the sun was setting behind me and it seemed to reflect off the web as i took the shot.Lighting
I wasn't really thinking of the lighting at the time, i just wanted to capture her and the web before it was broken or she disappeared. I had attempted to take a photo of her a few days previous but she was not as co-operative, running off to the side under a vine leaf. It all just fell into place. I then had a little tweak in light room to sharpen it and there you have it.Equipment
This shot was taken with a Nikon coolpix P600 nothing else.Inspiration
My curiosity with nature, even the creepy crawlies. She was so pretty on her web, very majestic.Editing
Yes a little tweak with Lightroom, although I'm still learning the basics.In my camera bag
Just my camera, I'm quite a novice and carrying a lot of gear is not my thing. Maybe a tripod if I'm going out looking for some nice shots, but mostly just the nikon coolpix P600. I am contemplating buying a new camera soon so we will see what happens then.Feedback
I'm not sure if I have enough experience to be giving advice, but I find if I don't think about the whole technical side of it too much and just go with my eye things usually turn out the best. Enjoy the experience of the capture and your'e usually rewarded with a great shot!
