Behind The Lens

Location

I have a small studio at my home, there I have done this photo.

Time

It could be any time, I do not remember exactly. I can work in my studio round the clock.

Lighting

I used daily light lamp, I had to move it in different directions to see how it will affect the image.

Equipment

Olympus camera E M10 Mark III, 14-42 lens (pancake). In studio I always use a tripod, continuous light or sunlight, reflectors. I don't use special table, just have a flexible construction for my objects.

Inspiration

Clovers inspired me this summer. They were everywhere around, bright and with big leafs, so I was seduced and took few to my home. The other interesting feature of clovers I noted already then. They are extremely inconstant, always turn according the light, actually quite fast. So when I saw the composition I would like to photograph, I had to be fast, too. That was very difficult, cause I like to observe for a long time before finely making a photo.

Editing

Yes, I have done some work to embellish the colors, contrast, sharpness. Actually, I have done photomerge, with different focusing.

In my camera bag

In my "every day" bag: Olympus Om-D E M 10 Mark III and pancake lens 14-42. In my "landscape" bag: Bronica etr-si, zoom 45-90 zenza bronica.

Feedback

The key is lighting. From the same composition different images will come out with different lighting. I usually spend some time, playing with light.
