Location
I don’t mind laying on the ground to get the right angle. But for this one, the sun wasn’t giving me what I wanted so I plucked the dandelion and put it in my window with a sheer as a diffuser.Time
I think it was about 7-8 in the morning.Lighting
Natural light, through a window.Equipment
I used a Nikon D610 with a 100mm macro.Inspiration
The mixed textures of lines and circles inspired a sense of balance for me.Editing
I did the usual clean up of dust from the sensor, a levels adjustment and crop.In my camera bag
I normally try to pack light, and pay the price.Feedback
Soft diffused light can be key. It can be a piece of fabric, translucent paper... experiment with household items, it doesn’t have to be expensive.
