Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken, looking out the living room window at the front of the house. Nothing extra ordinary except that bugs like to mate on this window a lot.

Time

Was probably taken around lunch time. I was siting on the couch, car watching, when I saw the bugs, I ran to grab my camera and tripod, hoping they would still be there upon returning.

Lighting

Use the lighting to your best advantage. When I dont have a flash on, I carry a white folder to help bounce light onto my subject.

Equipment

Canon EOS R, canon 100mm macro lens

Inspiration

Was just a spur of the moment. Saw the bugs and decided to take quick action. Most often I just see something and intuitively think to snap away.

Editing

Just some light touchups. A little cropping to zoom in on the action.

In my camera bag

Usually I carry my Canon body, my 50mm RF 1.2 prime, my RF kit zoom lens, an external flash (my body does not have a built in flash), remote triggers, sd cards, filters, cleaner cloth, batteries, and oddly a pack of dental flossers.

Feedback

Expect the unexpected. Always have your camera readily available so you don’t miss the action. If a DSLR isn’t an option, phones work as an alternative.
