Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at 9,000 ft in the Rockies of Colorado when the winter snow had gone and the sun warmed the earth.Time
My family and I are foragers and get up early every in the spring to go check our spots and how the season is going. Colorado has a tendency to go through 10 year droughts. This photo was taken at the beginning of a wet season as these flowers tend to show more toward the beginning of summer, which meant great mushroom foraging in this particular area.Lighting
None.Equipment
This is where it gets a little interesting. Back when was a kid, my father was a camera salesman and love photography. I began woring in his store at the age of 12 developing film. When digital cameras came to be, I refused to own one with the mindset that the art was being taken away from traditional 35mm film photos. I to this day still do not own a digital camera... except the one on my phone. To this end, this photo was taken with my Samsung S8.Inspiration

Feel you medium. Sometimes something looks like it will make a good photograph, but unless you can capture it's essence, than it just comes out one dimensional.
