Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on the island of Kauai Hawaii. We were playing mini putt putt golf and there were these amazing botanical gardens weaved into the course.

Time

This photo is one of my favorite images that I took that day. It was a few hours before sunset.

Lighting

The skies were more blue than any day I can remember and the air seemed to be so clear.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D3100. I was not too familiar with the camera at this time so I set it to auto and started shooting.

Inspiration

The dark green back ground of the leaves against the majestic purple ring in the middle of this passion flower prompted me to start shooting from different angles. There was something so mystical about this flower that day that I couldn't resist taking several photos of it.

Editing

I did do a few edits of this photo. I normally do a auto adjust and highlights of the area behind the subject. I'm not a professional by any means, just love to shoot and edit.

In my camera bag

I normally have an extra battery and a lens cloth. That is pretty much all I carry in my bag.

Feedback

I find that if you can see it in your head chances are you can capture it with a few shots, often I take a dozen or so of the same thing but from different angles.
