Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in front of my house. My mother's love to plants various of plants, one of them is this orchid. I thought it was beautiful to shoot them.

Time

It was 8 am that time. When the sun still warm and bright, and the lights illuminated these flowers so gently. And it makes the flowers shine a bit.

Lighting

I don't have any worth sharing about the lighting, but he lights shone on these flowers with such a gentle touch.

Equipment

I used Canon 650D with EF-S 18-55mm lens. And no other equipment involved.

Inspiration

I took it when I was in quarantine time day 15ish I believe. The orchid doesn't need much Ray's on them, so they are like in a place that have lots of shadows. Wich we can translate it into even we're in darkness there will be a light that shine on us. In this quarantine time we believe that we're living in a shadow, but if we can look around and closer, there will be a light that shine on us. Can be new hobbies ,or something fun. And we shouldn't lose any hope to be a better person and things would gets better soon.

Editing

I retouched the photo only to edits some brightness and contrast on Photoshop, nothing much.

In my camera bag

I only have my camera and little notebook to write down the ideas or maybe sketching some scene.

Feedback

Make sure that lights shine on the petals, and use marco-shoot to capture the details.
