Location

This photo was taken at Longwood Gardens.

Time

This photo was taken in April around noon.

Lighting

Since I took this photo around noon, the sun was overhead creating even lighting which illuminates the flowers.

Equipment

This was image was taken on a Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS and no other equipment.

Inspiration

Longwood Gardens has many stunning and inspiring flowers. The gradation and coloring on the petals of this lily caught my eye and caused me to fall in love with the flower.

Editing

I only did minor post-processing to this photo to let the beauty of the flowers shine. After some standard color correction, I removed some excess pollen laying on the petals and leaves.

In my camera bag

Along with my camera, I always carry extra batteries and lens cleaning equipment! The best camera is the one you have with you.

Feedback

If you plan to go to a garden or elsewhere for floral photography, check the weather beforehand. Try to go on a sunny day with no rain. Also, take as many photos as you can. The more photos you take, the more likely you are to get a stunning image!
