Location
This photo was taken by me in my garden. I’m a self taught photographer.Time
This is probably one of my very first macro photo. Every morning I go out in my garden and look for something inspiring. I shot this photo around 9.00am.Lighting
In my opinion natural light is best for macro as far as insects are considered.Equipment
Canon 77d with Tamron 90mmInspiration
Nature and the hobby of gardening keeps me close to the subjectsEditing

I always carry my Tamron sp90 with me everywhere I go in addition with an extra pair of batteries.Feedback
You garden is the best place for shooting insects and if you don’t have one community garden is always a good place. Always carry your gear with you and just look around.
