Location
This photo of a phlox is taking in my garden. I love to take creative macro pictures.Time
Early in the morning when the light is soft it was good moment for taking this romantic shotLighting
I used only natural light, no filters, no flash.Equipment
I used my Nikon D5500 and a sigma 105 macro lens. It was a difficult angle for my tripod, so I used a beanbag.Inspiration
I love flowers, and I love this soft pastel color. It was a plant with lots of flowers, so it looked like a lilac carpet.Editing
I shoot in RAW, but I only cropped it a bit and gave the orange a bit more saturation, so it stood more out.In my camera bag
I have a Nikon D5500, Sigma 105 Macro, a Nikkor 18-105 and a Tamron 70-300 in my bag. And of course batteries and cards. I'm still a beginner..Feedback
Find a plant with lots of flowers and try different positions, different aperture.
