Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was made in my home studio. I regularly take pictures of my orchids and other flowers in the house, especially with different cameras, lenses and setup. I recently acquired a set of extension tubes so this is one of the first experiments with these tubes.

Time

It was done during the afternoon whem tyhe light is not all to bright while falling through te window

Lighting

It was done with existing light.

Equipment

Made with Sony A99m2, Minolta AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro and 3 Soligor extension tubes. 36mm, 20mm and 12mm combined.

Inspiration

I like tu experiment with different kinds of set-ups. This photo is about the most magification i could create.

Editing

Almost nu post-processing, just some tweaks in color and brightness. The photo was also rotated and flipped

In my camera bag

I have a choise of FF or crop sensor camera's, it all depends on the situation.

Feedback

Altough the camera is quite expencive, the rest was done with second-hand lens and tubes with no artificial lightning. So you can create similar photos on your kitchen table. Just keep looking at all angles to find that perfect shot.
