Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at home through the process known as focus stacking

Time

Approximately between 10 pm and 12 am

Lighting

Yes, it is always valid to share something about lighting, in this case I used 2 points of continuous light and a homemade diffuser made with a jar of hair cream.

Equipment

I use a Canon 80 with the EF 100mm F / 2.8 USM Macro lens together with the Raynox MSN-202, I keep the camera fixed and the target fixed too, I use the lens focus ring to rotate and get the photos.

Inspiration

My inspiration comes from nature, how complex its structure is, how much we can see through it.

Editing

The image is finalized in Helicon Focus, the program used to stack the photos, then I used CC2019 to give the final version.

In my camera bag

I always use the camera, the Raynox MSN-202 filter and extension tubes, I also use the ND filter and tripod.

Feedback

Patience, the work is not difficult to perform, but it takes work, it is a routine that must be followed rigorously, without errors, so that in the end a good result is obtained.
