Hi Pjerry, sory about this late reply. Really appreicate this challenge. It is fun. I don’t check the Viewbug boc often because the website sends too many advertisements. I think this is the reason I miss your message.

Thanks Logesh! Sorry about the late response. This website sends so many ads along I stop checking my inbox thinking no one writes anyway.

Behind The Lens

Location

Beijing, inside an exhibiton flower house for chrysanthemums. The place was pack so I couldn't get very close.

Time

After 10, before noon.

Lighting

Only whatever light available inside this room.

Equipment

Maybe tripod but not positive, Canon, 100 mm. No flash.

Inspiration

The beauty of the flower.

Editing

Very long post-process to delete the background and turn into black in Photoshop by using black paint brush or lower exposure.

In my camera bag

2 Canon cameras, 100 mm, and 16-35mm or 24-105 mm lens at a minimum. Sometimes I add 50 mm, 14 mm and the 300mm. Extra batteries. Remote shutter release, food bars, a couple of coins and a tripod.

Feedback

I am partial to black background for flowers. If you and place the flower infrint of a dark background, that's great. Otherise you will need to use a black brush to paint over the background one bit at a time. Also deleting the dirt on the flower is important. For something this complex, either do stacking or do above 11f stop.
