Behind The Lens

Location

When we visited friends in San Francisco we wanted to see some of the sites. We took a bus to the Japanese Tea Garden which is part of the Golden Gate Park.

Time

It was a crisp, beautiful, sunny day. We came across this scene shortly after noon on March 28th, 2007.

Lighting

The Tea Garden has a lot of trees and I thought the mottling of colors by the trees was striking.

Equipment

My Pentax *ist DL camera, stock lens, no tripod.

Inspiration

The explosion of colors did it - it was breathtaking.

Editing

No post processing.

In my camera bag

My camera and stock lens, a telephoto lens, batteries, lens cloth.

Feedback

Always be ready and trust your eye.
