Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my backyard. I love looking for the small stuff, the things others might overlook. This was after a very rainy spring and I just had to get out and enjoy the sun.

Time

This was taken mid afternoon. I had a ton of other stuff to do, but the sun was shining and everything looked fresh after the rain.

Lighting

I prefer natural light. I am an amateur photographer and love using what God has given us.

Equipment

I shot this with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, using their 60mm 2.8 macro lens.

Inspiration

Nature...all the hidden things we overlook. Macro-photography forces me to slow down and really look. I love the peaceful feeling I get when I'm out in nature. It's amazing what you will find when one slows down.

Editing

There is no post processing.

In my camera bag

I always carry my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. I have the 60mm 2.8 macro lens and 40-150mm 2.8 lens.

Feedback

My advice is just to get out there and notice what is around you. There is beauty in the smallest and simplest things.
