Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino California.

Time

Around late morning. I love morning light.

Lighting

It's natural daylight.

Equipment

I used the Sony I had at the time. No tripod. They don't allow them. No flash. I rarely use them. I prefer natural lighting.

Inspiration

The beauty I was seeing around me.

Editing

Never except cropping. I'm old school. I'm from the days of film. I'm from the see it, shoot it era. I don't think post processing is really photography. It's a different form of art

In my camera bag

Lens cleaner, a multitude of batteries, solar charger. And an extra uv filter. And snacks. Lol

Feedback

Be patient. Be still. And learn to hold your breath.
