Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken from my neighbours garden as I was walking down the main road of my home town Delungra, NSW, Australia.

Time

It would of been about lunch time when I decided to go for a walk to the local shop, noticing them on my way I couldn't resist but to capture their beauty.

Lighting

The lighting is all natural, I didn't retouch this version of the photo. It's 100% all natural just like nature intended.

Equipment

Taken on my Nikon D60 with an 18-55mm standard lens. Nothing fancy at all, just aim, adjust and shoot.

Inspiration

I love trying to capture all types of nature but I have to say it would of been the unique shape of the flower, similar to a bell and the gorgeous purple colour, pale yet pleasant.

Editing

It's all natural, I never edited the photo afterwards. All I did was take the photo then transfer it to my laptop. Sometimes the first shot you take is the best one. But in saying that I do also have a copy where I did do some light adjustments, some people prefer it over this one others disagree, it's all just personal preference, not everyone is going to like your shots.

In my camera bag

I now carry around my new Nikon D3500, 400-800mm f/8.5 telephoto lens, 18-55mm f/3.8+ lens, wide angle attachment and UV, ND, close up filters for those really quick light adjustments or a better focus on my macro shots. Occasionally I will take my D60 with me a well but will only use it for my close ups.

Feedback

Get to know your camera really well it makes it a lot easier to jump straight to the perfect shot without hesitation, adjust your and go. Sometimes you might not have the right gear for the "perfect shot" remember though you can also retouch your photos afterwards and play around with you white balance, saturation, contrasts and so much more. You never know you might get your "perfect" shot afterall. You also don't need the top of the range gear, work your way up and do some research on what's compatible with your camera and then go through your price range, there's always something. Expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's better. If you have a camera in your hand you obviously have an eye and passion for photography, take it to the edge, go places you've never been. Just be aware of your surroundings and always enjoy the wonders of what nature has to offer.
