Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania), where there always are a few pools filled with water lilies all summer long.

Time

This was taken in mid-morning

Lighting

Hot summer day, rather harsh light

Equipment

Sony R1

Inspiration

I was trying to get a nice reflection

Editing

Contrast and saturation adjustments

In my camera bag

I now have a Nikon D5200

Feedback

The challenge at Longwood is that the plant labels are often in the way, and sometimes only Photoshop can take care of that!
