Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at Allan Gardens Conservatory. It is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. Its historic, cast-iron and glass domed "Palm House" was built in 1910 and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows.Time
I captured this photograph at approximately 11:00 a.m.Lighting
I prefer natural lighting as it can set the mood of your photograph. On this particular day it was slightly overcast. No flash was required.Equipment
I used my Canon camera which was hand held. I feel it is not important to have an expensive camera to capture a beautiful photograph. I feel strongly that cameras do not take the photograph but photographers doInspiration
For me its all about how a style of architecture makes you feel, old architecture tends to feel inviting, grand and also holds a lot of character.Editing
The only minor post-processing I did on this photograph was using Photomatix to make the photograph a bit more vibrant! Otherwise what you see is what came straight out of my camera.In my camera bag
In my camera bag I carry my Canon camera, extra batteries, various filters, lens filter cleaner and extra memory cards.Feedback
Every photograph tells a story, make your photograph tell a story. Photography changes the way you see things. You notice colours, textures, people, nature … everything around you looks different when you start to see the world through a lens. Have fun and enjoy doing what you love doing, which is taking photographs. Don’t follow your dreams … chase them!
