Location
This photo was taken in Colorado. My family and I took a trip there and saw so many vibrant, beautiful,band unique plants. Guess that's why its called "Color"-ado.Time
I honestly couldn't tell you what time this image was taken at but I can tell you there was an ample amount of available light to help capture this close-up image.Lighting
This image was captured using natural light and I played around with the lighting (shadows & highlights) in post-processing.Equipment
This shot was taken handheld with my Nikon D7000 and paired with a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 -4 DC Macro OS.Inspiration
I was drawn to the vibrancy & uniqueness of this particular plant and was very excited to take it into post-processing for enhancement.Editing
Yes! I used Lightroom to enhance the colors, shadows, and highlights and then took it into Photoshop to help give the background a little more of that creamy, dreamy feel.In my camera bag
Nifty-fifty, 85mm, Nikon camera, some macro extension tubes, flash, and an extra battery plus SD card.Feedback
I am a big fan of using back-button focusing. First I get the subject in focus then recompose my shot to achieve the composition I am looking for.
