Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the Chicago Botanical Garden.

Time

This was a great post-lunch photo in the Japanese garden in the early afternoon.

Lighting

I kept it natural and allowed Mother Nature take care of the rest.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D5300 camera with a wide-angle lens and ND filter attached . I kept the photo simple so it would look beautiful in the natural sunlight.

Inspiration

I saw how beautiful the scenery was and wanted to capture the photo.

Editing

Yes. I used Photoshop Elements to even out the photo.

In my camera bag

I usually have my 3 lens - 2 zoom and one macro lens - and my camera in my bag.

Feedback

Be patient and trust your instinct.
