As I turned the corner in the Conifer forest and here was something I never would have thought about. Baby pinecones.

Location
This photo was taken at the South Seattle CC arboretum in the conifer glen.Time
I was trying to get my camera and I cool and walked into the conifer glen as I rounded the corner there it was. I grew up with trees like these but never have I seen this. Baby pinecone and I named him Jim, giggles!Lighting
The lighting was the best because it had a direct focus on my pinecone, JimEquipment
Nothing fancy for me. Just my Canon Hot Shot SX 70HS and a steady hand.Inspiration
I think just the surprise of seeing this pinecone was enough to inspire me!~Editing
I am using light room for all my editing. I added a bit of vibrance for the color but that's about it.In my camera bag
I have limitation so my camera around my neck and side bag on my huge power wheelchair with lens cloth, stronger ND filter if very bright. Extra batteries and my phone. I tend to forget to my phone, sometimes. That means I have to find someone with a phone to call my husband to pick me up in handicapped van. Phone is as important as batteries..Feedback
If you do not have the light, raise the flash. It's not rocket science, I think.
