Behind The Lens

Location

This dragonfly was injured when me and my daughter found this amazing creature while we're taking a walk around our neighborhood. My daughter feel sad seeing a pretty dragonfly can't fly high, so I asked my daughter should we bring it home and see if we could help this dragonfly to fly high again. My daughter agreed and smile, we put this dragonfly on my plants inside the house, and search what dragonfly eats :-)...After 2 days, really amazing dragonfly just posed for me to picture before we let it go back in the wild.

Time

It was about 10 in the morning, really sunny and nice day to go for a walk.

Lighting

It's day time, this dragonfly staying on my plant where I place it in the window. The natural light from the sun makes the background nice, clear, crisp lightning.

Equipment

I just used my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S10) to catch the perfect shot. Always great having cellphone on your pocket, quick and easy access of all time to capture any moments or memories to keep. I just adjust the camera setting to indoor, I didn't use any other equipment.

Inspiration

It inspired me to keep a memory for my daughter, Also a challenge and curiosity if I could take a shot closer since dragonfly keeps flying every time you get closer.

Editing

i didn't use any post-processing, all is natural as it is.

In my camera bag

I got nothing else but my cellphone to capture everything.

Feedback

Dragonfly is really hard to capture a good shot....if you have a adjustable lens the better chance to get a shot, but need to find the right position and a quick click. Make sure you don't get too close or else it will fly away, just slowly and calm to get enough distance to take a photo(s). If you gonna use a cellphone like I did, just need patience and take it slowly to get closer and make a quick shot. Take note to Make sure your cellphone is all set or adjusted to your desire setting.
