Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taking in a patch of overgrown Weeds and blackberry by the side of a local walking path, mid morning after a brief rain shower.

Time

Midmorning

Lighting

Although the weather was dull was poor the overcast conditions made the light diffuse without strong contrast. I try to avoid using flash and try to capture the natural lighting which can be difficult with longer exposure times.

Equipment

Canon Rebel t3i , 100mm macro with tripod.

Inspiration

The flower was a bright spot in an otherwise dull and dreary landscape. Although not bright it stood out against the darker floiage

Editing

No post processing

In my camera bag

Normally I use the 100 mm macro as my favourite lens but always carry extension tubes and a teleconverter for smaller subjects

Feedback

Weather is always an issue for macro photography, but even on wet overcastdays there is always something to photograph, wind however usually means staying indoors
