Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my mother's house. Her favourite rose was always Double Delight and I bought her the plant for her birthday when I stayed with her. This is the first flower from that plant.

Time

I don't remember exact time of day but believe it was taken in the afternoon..

Lighting

This photo was taken in natural light from the window.

Equipment

Simple equipment. My old Olympus camera E-510 hand held.

Inspiration

I guess the inspiration for this photo was that it was my mother's favorite rose. And the beauty of it drew me into the centre of the flower to take a close up of it.

Editing

This photo was taken in 2014 so I struggle to remember what post processing I did! I believe I sharpened it up a bit but it is quite as it came from the camera.

In my camera bag

I have upgraded since this photo was taken to Olympus OMD - M5 mark 2. Love the mirrorless cameras because of the ease of using them and carrying them around. I almost always have with me my Olympus Pro lenses which are 40 - 150mm 1: 2.8 and 12 - 40mm 1: 2.8. I also have macro lens and love using 50mm prime lens from an Olympus film camera that belonged to my father. I rare use a tripod and don't carry one as a rule

Feedback

The best advice I can give is not to be afraid to get up close to your subject, particularly flowers. Their true beauty is very often in the detail. There are a lot of photos of flowers in their entirety and getting close and showing the detail makes it a bit special.
