Behind The Lens
Location
The photo in question was taken in a small forest , near my house. It was taken last fall and is part of a series of images of fungi and mushrooms presented here in Viewbug .Time
The image was taken during the morning , shortly after dawn . I particularly like this time of day to photograph plants and other natural elements for the light allows for very natural and beautiful results. Another factor that I love is the ability to find fog and small amounts of moisture in plants which greatly shows the effect " bokeh "Lighting
As I mentioned , I used natural light , and of course the help of a small reflector to fill light the background behind the plant . I think that allows us to highlight a bright rear plan and create a three-dimensional effect in prinicipal element shooting.Equipment
I used a NIKON D7100, the lens was a Nikkor AF 50 1.8D in manual focus. I also used a small alimunium reflector.Inspiration
I love photos of fungi and mushroom, i explored this love about this kind of natural elements.Editing
Yes, i processed the image in LightRoom, only for the highlights and some small shadows.In my camera bag
Nikon D7100, Nikkor AF 50 1.8D lens, Nikkor 18-105 AF lens, industar 2 f3.5, Helios 44m-2, TOKINA 11-16 AF 2.8, coloured filter and a ND filters.Feedback
I think anyone can take very beautiful pictures without having to go far to get them out . Just know where you live , exploit it and make the most of the surrounding nature and the time of year .
