Location
I took this photo in our backyard after a morning rain shower.Time
This photo was taken about 9.30 in the morning. The sun was just coming out after the rain, just like this little ladybug did.Lighting
The light was filtered by a big tree above. The sun just begun to appear after the rain, so the light was ideal for taking a photo like this one.Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ100, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a point and shoot camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket.Inspiration
It was a rainy Sunday morning when I woke up, so I decided to stay in bed for a while longer. When the rain stopped, I got out of bed and saw the sun coming out. This is always a great moment to take your camera and shoot the world in shiny sunlit droplets. Walking through our garden I noticed this little ladybug climbing out of her dark hiding place to catch some warming sun rays.Editing
I did little post-processing in Lightroom, like cropping and just a touch of saturation, that's all.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag of equipment at all, only my Lumix DMC-TZ100, a wonderful intelligent automatic pocket camera which practically fits in my back pocket. It shows that you do not have to use expensive and big cameras to achieve nice results...Feedback
Take the time and effort to look around you and be surprised to find that one can take a nice photo in almost every square foot anywhere! Capturing wonderful shots is a matter of trying to look through a pinhole without forgetting the whole picture... Look around you and see that everywhere beauty can be found if you are willing to see it! Make sure all the surrounding details like grass and other flowers are gone, to achieve maximum focus on the details you want to show... In creating a nice macro of an insect it's important to take the insect from the side or the front and as low as possible! If you take this photo from a higher point of view, you loose contact with your subject. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realize what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... And most of all, take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one, once you get home and open your laptop when the magic of today's digital world begins... I always crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop and edit the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
