Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in my garden, one minute after the strong rain stopped.Time
It was afternoon, but the light was not intense as it was a cloudy and rainy day: definitely a grey sky.Lighting
Had indeed to fight a bit to get the good light, as natural light was not high. I turned a bit around my subject until I found what looked ok to my eyes.Equipment
I never use flash and rarely tripod: I like only natural light and tripod does not allow me the needed flexibility. Hence I simply used my standard Canon EOS 550D with my Tamron macro lens: a great combination, I admit.Inspiration
I live in a Northern country and it rains quite often also in spring and summer: when flowers are blossoming, I await with joy for some rain, as the effect on the petals is truly nice :)Editing
No post processing at all in this pic.In my camera bag
I aways have my Canon EOS 550D with both its firm lens (wide angle) and a tamron zoom / macro lens. Only in punctual "missions" I have with me a tripod, and in pecial occasions my analogic Nikon FM (for portaits namely).Feedback
Whatch the weather forecast, then sit (inside) and wait! droplets on petals are always very scenic.
