Behind The Lens

Location

I was home and saw the dragonfly land on top of the tomato plant post. It was looking in my direction and caught my attention!

Time

The photo was taken in the afternoon.

Lighting

It was a sunny day and the lighting was coming from behind the dragonfly. It highlighted the details of colors on the wings.

Equipment

I used the SONY A7IIIR camera, and a SONY 100-400 mm lens.

Inspiration

Dragonflies are unique and their coloring captures my attention. This dragonfly had details to the wings that were brown in color contrasting to the rest of the aqua color body. He seemed to be looking in my direction observant which intrigued me to capture his picture.

Editing

I utilized Lightroom for post-processing. I adjusted the exposure, shadows, white, black, and sharpness.

In my camera bag

SONY A7IIIR camera, SONY 200-600mm lens and a SONY 100-400 mm lens.
