Behind The Lens

Location

In the countryside. In one of my favorite places that I frequent to do macro photography.

Time

I usually go out to do macro photography early in the morning. I never lengthen my days after the sun is high. Surely it would be before twelve noon.

Lighting

I like to work in direct light whenever I can. But sometimes due to technical requirements such as a very closed diaphragm to gain depth of field (DOF) it is necessary to provide some artificial light. In this case through a Twin flash at low power.

Equipment

In this particular case, a Sony A6500 camera coupled with a Laowa 60mm 2.8 lens with a 2:1 magnification ratio that provides two magnifications. A Kuang Ren KX 800 Twin Flash with diffusers on each bulb.

Inspiration

Well, I had seen quite a few similar photos and I wanted to create an environment with a dim light in which the clarity of the legs of this spectacular arthropod would stand out.

Editing

I don't usually process my photos too much. I usually work on basic adjustments like saturation, contrast, and a bit of focus. Of course, adjustment of the image according to the platform where it is directed, signature and/or watermark and frame.

In my camera bag

Normal, but apart from my Sony cameras, several macro lenses of different focal lengths Sony, Laowa, Meyer Optik, Helios, flashes, extension tubes, duplicators, achromatic lenses, tripods of various sizes, those of us who work a lot on macro photography by At the end we are getting a lot of accessories and elements, which help us create other atmospheres and give photography another dimension of quality.

Feedback

f course. See lots of pictures of people you admire. You learn a lot by observing and analyzing photographs. Be constant and do not despair until the results we are looking for appear.
