Location
I took this photo at the Japanese Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA. It is one of my favorite places to visit and work on new subjects I have learned about photography. I love to explore the gardens and photograph scenes as the light changes.Time
I took this on one of my early Saturday morning trips to the garden. It was about 8:00 AM and there were not many people at the garden yet.Lighting
This shot was taken with natural light. The sky was clear, but I waited to get the right amount of light was coming through the trees to get the reflection on the surface of the lake.Equipment
I took this with my Nikon Coolpix P900 and I had it mounted on my tripod for added stability.Inspiration
Most visitors photograph the major attractions in the garden from the same usual locations. I love looking for unique locations from which to photograph, when I visit the botanical garden.Editing
The Nikon P900 saves photos in JPEG and Raw. I use Lightroom to do my post processing on the JPEG file. I set the white & black balance points. I also adjusted the shadows and highlights to bring out more details.In my camera bag
I carry with me my Nikon D5600 & P900 cameras with which I can easily take macro to telescopic photos. I carry two 8 x10 pieces of foam board. One is black and one is white on one side and aluminum foil attached to the other to affect the lighting. I take my tripod and my case containing my adapter and UV, CPL, FLD and Neutral Density Filters.Feedback
Go off the beaten path. Take your time to look around for new scenes that most people just ignore.
