Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Time

I love this image. My granddaughter and I were basking in a warm, fresh autumn afternoon.

Lighting

The sun did a good job of popping the yellows. The cerulean sky was a bonus!

Equipment

iPhone.

Inspiration

To me, this represented all the beauty of mid-autumn. A perfect time to reflect on summer's hot, sticky days at a pristine beach and anticipate winter's magical qualities just waiting backstage.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

I wish I could name lenses, filters, and other camera-related gadgets, but alas, in my "bag" is my phone and other things that get me through the day.

Feedback

Be observant. Don't wait for the "perfect" moment. Use what you have to capture what appeals to you, and don't overthink it or sigh because you can't afford great equipment.
