Behind The Lens
Location
The Chicago Botanical Gardens in their circular 4 part pond with Lily Pads and Lilies of several varieties blooming in the 4 sections of water/pondTime
About Midmorning once the Sun had crested the trees and bushes to get direct sunlight onto the lilies and have them start opening upLighting
I like to use the pond water as a black background of the water surrounding the lilies and lily pads to make them really standout with their colors.Equipment
My Sony Alpha series camera and a telephoto lensInspiration
The Chicago Botanical Gardens has fantastic water lilies during the summer months, sometimes it is best to be there early in the AM or more in the evening as the Sun sets for another splash of colorsEditing
I simply use the Photo program in my Apple MacBook Pro Computer , a very simple program with lots of variables to play with in any photo...In my camera bag
Several Sony Cameras of varying mega pixels, from 16 to 64, several lenses and lots of batteries or power sources!!!~Feedback
Just shoot lots and experiment with what special features your camera may have in its features!!!
