Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on a summer vacation in Fethiye, southern Turkey. He posed for me before I messed his flight and I got very close to him and took a picture of him before he went to the beach

Time

I took my afternoon photo between 16:00 and 17:00 my favorite hours of the day the light was at the right angle and time for me.

Lighting

I didn't use any extra equipment for lighting. Daylight was enough for me at that moment

Equipment

The aquipment I use for this photo is Nikon d7500 and 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens Manfrotto MK290DUA3-3W Tribod

Inspiration

I like to take clear and detailed photos in general, especially the details about the bodies of insects and spiders fascinate me. It's like a reflection of what I can't describe in detail. When I look this photo, the Drogonfly seemed to be posing for me, and although I was very close to it, it never ran away from me. When I caught a nice square, I got him a nice square now and that moment flew as well, it was an inceredible moment for me. Every time I want to take a picture of an insect or spider I have this moment, this moment was the most beautiful

Editing

In the photo, I ruduced the exposure a little bit and ruduced the shadows a little bit, so I got the darkness wanted around the photo. I also incereased the contraception setting by %10

In my camera bag

I have a Nikon D7500 body in my bag and an 18-140mm / 50mm and 18-55mm lens. I also have 3 External Nikon backup batteries. One SB-5000 flash

Feedback

Taking pictures is a passionate job, the feeling is 50%, when we want to take a picture of something, you have to believe in yourself first, then your talent starts to come out. It can be a photo of Man, nature, animal, architecture, you need to transfer your entire mind to the finger where you will press and feel the equalizer. having this feeling will give you the pose you want, no matter who is in front of you
