Location
I went away for a couple of days to the Twin Waters Resort at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.Time
It was raining heavily so I grabbed my umbrella and camera and decided to give shooting in the rain a go. This photo was taken in the middle of the day.Lighting
There was nothing special about the lighting apart from it being a rainy day.Equipment
I used my Nikon D750 with a 105mm f/2.8 micro lens. Hand heldInspiration
These flowers are so magnificent and this particular clump of strelizia was well tended and the flowers were in full bloom.Editing
As I shoot in RAW this image was processed in Lightroom.In my camera bag
At this stage, I only have 3 lenses, all prime. The 20mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8, and the 105mm f/2.8 micro VR. I also carry a Manfrotto 190go tripod and a pixie tripod. Also have two SB-700 flash units. Have just started using ND filters.Feedback
Photography for me, is about seizing the moment when inspiration takes me. Ever since I have been obsessed with photography I see things differently and continually imagine what something would be like in a photograph.
