Behind The Lens
Location
Taken in Scottsdale, AZ on an overcast day. Retouched with Luminar and Photoshop. I go back and forth depending on what I want to accomplish.Time
Around 10 AM, overcast. I am a gut photographer. I have the image in my mind and do the camera settings accordingly, like everybody else I suppose. I prefer overcast for closeups of plants.Lighting
Nothing special here.Equipment
Used my new Sony full frame, with 35mm, 1.8 Sony lens. The large pixel count of the camera allows me to concentrate on a small area and still have ample resolution.Inspiration
This was in a place called Desert Botanical Garden in Scottsdale. Lots of picture opportunities. (Admission fee.)Editing
It was an easy job. Because of overcast, I brought out a bit more colour and brilliance.In my camera bag
Two Sony cameras each with its lens, one 35mm and one zoom (25 to 70). Tripod and monopod, of course. I would carry more but I’m getting old for cartage.Feedback
Go with your gut and practice a lot. Enough to know the basics except for special situation, like night and macro.
