Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in an urban neighborhood. These flowers decided to start growing on the edge of a wall and the pavement. No other crocuses around. Amazing!

Time

It was late February 2022 in early afternoon. One of the first wild flowers I saw this year.

Lighting

The sun had a perfect angle, just enough light on the flowers and still low enough to create a nice purple shadow on the petals.

Equipment

My Canon EOS RP, with a Tamron 18:400 lens.

Inspiration

To see flowers start blooming so early in the yea, and on such a hard environment, should be photographed.

Editing

Except for some cropping, it was not necessary.

In my camera bag

Camera, spare battery, and cleaning stuff.

Feedback

Look always around you, there is to find beauty everywhere, even in unexpected places.
