Location
We with my wife decided to have a small walk right amid covid-19 pandemia. A breath of fresh air was such an alluring prospect for us. We passed by a small pond near wooden church in a city park. That pond was full of white and pink, and red lotuses and lilies. Those flowers were so beautiful that we could hardly find the best of them. Then we saw that lotus surrounded by its carved green leaves. We could see seaweed through clear water of the pond. I got down right to the water to capter that lotus in the right position. It had to be as a shining star, and all the surrounding had to highlight that beauty.Time
It was somewhere around the afternoon. The sun was hiding behind treetops on the banks of the pond.Lighting
Frankly, that time I didn't think about the light. Just tried to capture the right scene.Equipment
For this shot I used the simple Sony DSC-HX20 camera.Inspiration
As usual, the beauty of the world.Editing
I just removed the mist.In my camera bag
Normally, I take Sony LC-7, few lenses and tripod (and additional batteries, of course).Feedback
Pay attention to the world arround. Very common and very simple things can surprise you. And as I usually recommend try different points to make your shot. And use the basic rules of scenery such as perspective (straight, reverse or tonal), the rule of thirds and the principal of spiral. And go after your heart.
