Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken on a windowsill. The backround was dark so this was the perfect opportunity to focus on the object instead of the background.Time
It was just before sundown.Lighting
The light from the sunset made the colors come to life but leave the background dark.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon digital camera with a 5-25 mm lens, perfect for macro.Inspiration
I saw a picture with a leaf and the background was black. I wanted to create something similar so this is what turned out.Editing
NoneIn my camera bag
I have a Olympus EVOLT E-510 10.0MP digital camera. I also have a 14-42 mm lens and a 40-150 mm lens. I am also hoping to get some filters soon. I then have a canon digital camera that I bring along for macro pictures.Feedback
A great way to get a black background is using flash. Also, the position of the sun makes a big difference too.
