Behind The Lens

Location

South africa

Time

early morning

Lighting

natural

Equipment

I used my good old canon 600d with a 50mm f1.8 lens and a 25mm canon extension tube, this shot was handheld

Inspiration

beauty in the smallest of creatures

Editing

I do use some post-processing, for this shot I used Lightroom but only to increase the whites slightly and a very a small amount of noise reduction

In my camera bag

I have a very limited amount of equipment, but make do with the following: Canon 600d, 50mm f1.8, sigma 150 - 500 f5.6 - 6.3, extension tube and a couple of filters, tripod (very basic) and a lot of inspiration

Feedback

A keen eye, lot of patience and a steady but quick hand, as these guys don't hang around for long!
