Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in my neighbours back garden. I´ve been taking photos for about a year now, and this was one of the first pictures with my new kamera.

Time

This was taken at 13:41 on the 15th August 2021.

Lighting

As you can see from the picture, it was a nice summer afternoon with the sun shining down on us all. The busy bees buzing all over the garden.

Equipment

It was taken with a Nikon Z6, Sigma 105mm Makro lens mounted to the camera with a FTZ adaptor. It´s freehand and the settings ISO 100 f/6.3.

Inspiration

I´d just bought a Sigma 105mm Makro lens and was on the search for a motive.

Editing

The original is a NEF and I cropped the size of the picture/flower to concentrate on the bee.

In my camera bag

Because it was in my neighbours garden, I only had the camera an the Sigma lens with me, but do own a Z 50mm lens, the kit lens, 24-70mm Z lens and a Nikkor 70-300mm lens which also needs the FTZ Adaptor.

Feedback

Because I´m new to photography, I can only advice other hobby photographs to keep everything in mind and try to take your camera with you whenever you can.
