Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my back garden while looking for interesting subjects to photograph during lockdown I came across these ladybirds hibernating on a shrub

Time

It was taken in the morning on a cold and frost day

Lighting

I used natural light

Equipment

I have just recently bought a macro lens for my Canon camera and wanted to try it out

Inspiration

The concept of there being a whole world that's right in front of us but we don't see is what excites me about macro photography

Editing

Apart from a slight crop this is from the camera

In my camera bag

I always carry spare batteries and memory cards aswell as my Canon camera and 50mm prime lens, I now include the macro lens

Feedback

A tripod and remote shutter release cable is a must inorder to keep the camera steady and setting manual focus so you are in control A screw on macro lens would work if funds are tight but a dedicated macro lens would be best
