Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois.

Time

I took this shot in the early afternoon.

Lighting

Just used available lighting, natural, as I was outside.

Equipment

I just used my Canon Power Shot camera! Thats all.

Inspiration

I love water lily photos and the Garden has some of the most beautiful water lily ponds in the area!

Editing

No, Im still an amateur and dont use any post processing.What you see is what you get!

In my camera bag

I dont have much in my camera bag, other than the manual and extra batteries.

Feedback

The best way to photograph water lilies are from standing fairly close to the subject to get the true beauty of the flower!
