Staying at a condo in Bonfil, near Acapulco, Mexico. Sunrise.

I called the baby and he looked up for the photo. So cute.

After an incredible hike up Mt Shasta, we were graced with this awesome sunset. I felt so grateful to live in such a beautiful area! In-JOY!

This was a wild cloud day in Mount Shasta. It seemed to come alive.

Love it when the wind kicks up the snow! So pretty!

Location

I was out walking in my favorite meadow by a river in Mount Shasta, CA one morning.

Time

This was about 9 AM after doing a great crossfit working, then taking my dogs for a walk. It was a chilly morning and I didn't have a tripod, but was able to hold the camera steady enough to capture this beauty!

Lighting

This was a raspberry bush that had been dusted with snow and slightly frozen. I loved how the white contrasted with the dark, fall colored leaves.

Equipment

My Cannon Rebel with macro lens

Inspiration

I was looking to take some good macro pics that morning, as the snow dusting was so pretty!

Editing

For macro shots like this, I usually just adjust the contrast a little bit to make the image pop. I might have added some exposure too, as I don't think it was a sunny day.

In my camera bag

Just my Rebel, macro lens and regular Tamarind lens. When I'm swimming, which is most days, I always have my GoPro with me, as I swim in the Caribbean Sea with turtles, dolphins, rays and fish! I have recently purchased a DJI Drone though! I'm excited to start using it.

Feedback

For macro shots of leaves, I'd recommend using a tripod to keep everything steady. I don't like to process too much, as I like it to be more natural.
