it was a normal SoCal day sunny and warmLighting
The lighting was in a shaded Bird House w/o flashEquipment
It was my Canon 6D with 180mm Macro lens hand held kneeling, crouching to get the correct angleInspiration
The color of the Mandarin Duke was just amazing and its reflections it drew on the water while floating alongEditing
a little LR4 to bring more contrast and pop to the photoIn my camera bag
In my bag ist only the Canon 6D with my 180mm Macro lens and a spare Battery packFeedback
just go and make photos all day long, each day will be different but you will see the progress you are making. Do not be too hard to yourself, its a hobby and progression comes in batches.
