Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a walled garden of a National Trust stately home in Scotland.

Time

I took this mid afternoon, the sun had just come out from behind the clouds after a morning of very heavy rain.

Lighting

I wanted to capture the light on the raindrops, there’s something about that gleam on the petals that for me makes if look almost fairytale like.

Equipment

I took this with a Canon EOS 1000D with an 18mm-50mm lens.

Inspiration

I love the colours of Nature. The brightness of the petals of this flower mixed with the raindrops was eye catching and enchanting for me.

Editing

With this particular photo I defined the shadows to make the light in the raindrops pop more and I enhanced the colour a little bit to do the flower justice.

In my camera bag

My camera 18mm-50mm lens and a 60mm lens.

Feedback

Some advice I was once given: ‘Photograph what you love, what captures your eye, and then photograph it from as many angles as possible.’ —
