Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Sainte-Maxime in France in a planter near my houseTime
In July 2022, at the end of the day, I was returning home after a long walk looking for a subject to photograph and finally I found when I was no longer looking...Lighting
I think it was already too dark despite a grazing light, this flower was in the shadows, so I used a flashEquipment
I used a flash for this photo, to test, I had almost never used it before, freehand with a sony a7 III and my lens was a macro FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS from Sony tooInspiration
I had already spotted this little place and at this time of the year these flowers are numerous and at the top of their beauty, I immediately knew that I had to capture these flowers, it costs nothing to tryEditing
I basically used lightroom, some masks to darken and isolated my subject, then some color editing and adding gaussian blur in photoshopIn my camera bag
I have a lot of things in my bag, nd, polarizing, anti uv filters, a flash, at least two lenses, a remote control, and various objects to clean the lens.Feedback
Patience and practice are essential to succeed in this kind of macro, I was new to this field, I missed a lot of photos before succeeding in this one. I'm never satisfied and that's what keeps me going I think
