Location
This photo was taken from my third floor apartment balcony, overlooking my back yard. The small collection of birch is nice enough, but the old, overgrown stepping-stone path that wanders through a no longer existant garden, adds perfectly to the simple details of a patch of ground that's now surrounded by condominiums and chain-link fences.Time
This was taken around noon, mid-February, in Toronto.Lighting
I actually waited for just the right moment for this one, checking every 5 minutes, and then getting it with a single shot. A short, quick snowfall brought the sun immediately after, melting the snow on the stepping-stones, but not yet the grass. The birches' shadows, I find, adds a contrast of warmth, in their mere suggestion of the sun, to the snow on the grass and the last of the falling flakes: Without the shadows, sun or not, it would be a very different photo.Equipment
A simple Kodak Easyshare - M583; handheld and zoomed in approximately 75%.Inspiration
A lot of my photos are, in fact, taken from my balcony. I enjoy trying to use new angles, at different times of day, with different zoom-distances, from the same spot, to find new photo-worthy shots.Editing
None whatsoever. I don't do any post-processing on principal: I try to simply capture what is, not to create art of my own.In my camera bag
My camera, batteries, charging/USB cord, Storage chip.Feedback
Take your time. Capture what YOU like, the WAY you like it. Always remember that YOU are your own worst critic!
