Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken not far from my home in Trelleborg Sweden.

Time

It was around 10 pm in July and it was sunny.

Lighting

During this shot I used the in-camera flash on the 7D Mark II

Equipment

Canon EOS 7D Mark II with the Canon EF 100mm f/2,8L Macro IS USM Handheld

Inspiration

This morning I was out to take shots of water droplets and this fly just happened to sit there still warming itself after the night I guess which made it possible for me to get so close.

Editing

I did some contrast changes and converted it to black and white. After playing some with editing my goal was to make it look almost like a car. I know this sounds strange but with the lines and reflection from the flash and the angle the shot was taken in I thought it whould be possible to get that look.

In my camera bag

I usually only have my Canon 7DMII, Canon EF100-400 f/4,5-5,6L IS II USM, Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 Distagon T* and a Fuji X100t.

Feedback

I'm pretty novice with photography and still don't properly now how to expose and compose but I guess the bets tips I can share is have fun and when you think that the shot isn't worth taking it usually is.
