Location
I captured this photo late one evening in the backyard of a friends house. Morning Glories had taken over a trellis and were in full bloom with one lonely offshoot reaching out, stretching just enough to grab the wave of an adjacent building.Time
It was a late evening in a dimly lit backyard.Lighting
The lighting was very dim with only some LED lights strung on a fence and a low watt incandescent on a nearby porch.Equipment
Nikon D7200 Nikkor 16-120mm Lens Promaster Tripod Yongnuo 568 EX FlashInspiration
The flower and vine were the only pair that strayed from the large mass the plants entangled spiderweb of vines and blooms.Editing
I only adjusted the sharpness to make the edges of the flower and vine more crisp and slightly adjusted the contrast to darken the blackness of the background.In my camera bag
I normally carry Nikon D7200 x2, Nikkor 35mm, Nikkor 16-120mm, and a Nikkor 85mm lenses. I don’t typically carry a flash.Feedback
See camera settings for this shot below. Always scan your surroundings. Look for abnormalities, something askew, a focal point that is rarely seen, or small objects don’t necessarily stand out. You’ll more often than not find a photograph that others wouldn’t have imagined possible. f/5.6 0.003125 - ( 1/320 seconds ) 140 mm 210 mm (35 mm format) ISO 2000 Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode 23-10-2018 05:19:11 PM 0.00 EV Manual exposure Manual Manual white balance Center Weighted Average Metering mode
