Mid Afternoon shot, 3:51 PMLighting
I was just lucky with the lighting, It was all natures doing.Equipment
I used my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8, no option to change lenses Hand held, no flash.Inspiration
I am always inspired to take photos of the gorgeous Spring Blooms found at Garvan Gardens, or anywhere else I find them Flowers are one of my favorite subjects.Editing
It was quite awhile ago but as I recall I deepened the Shadows, boosted the Contrast just a bit, adjusted the Highlights, and Saturation.In my camera bag
I have two Camera Bags, one for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 which I still use once in awhile in it's bag along with the Camera are the essentials, Extra Battery and Charger,Extra SD cards, Cords for uploading and TV viewing, and several Filters In my Current Camera Bag is the Canon EOS Rebel T5, with Canon 18-55 IS lens, Canon 28-135 IS lens, 75-300 lens, Tamron 2x extender, Vello Lens Hood,Extra Battery and Charger, 2 Extra SD cards, Speedlite 430EXIII-RT with Extra Batteries and Charger, Vello wired remote switch.

Lets not forget the Cleaning cloths, Notebook, pen, and spare wireless mouse..lolFeedback
My only advice is to keep your eyes open and really look at your surroundings where ever you are, You never know when you'll find an opportunity for a decent shot, and Experiment with exposures, don't be afraid of your Camera, use the Manual settings.
