Japanese Hill & Pond Garden


12 years 5 months ago #179614 by Papabear63
I took this shot at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden this afternoon, not much to see as far as flowers go, just about everything had died due to the cold. The greenhouse was cool but i had problems with condensation on my lens

Hi Papabear63

This looks like a wonderful place to practice your photo'y.
I see bridges, reflections and great angles that would
make nice images. (ie: the little bridge to the right)

In this photo the first thing I saw was a giant fish.
Probably not what you want to hear.
The image is bizzy & I have nothing to really focus on
other than the total shape of the island (or fish ... lol)

As we look around us, there are 100's of little compositions
that can be zoomed in on or camera angled to give perspective
to make the eye move around with interest.

In your view here I see some wonderful lighting/reflection
on the building to the left.
Did you capture that?

In photography ..... watch for the light.

You say: "problems with condensation on my lens"
Try keeping your cam in it's bag before each shot.

Hope this helps

Hey Gary,
thanks for the comments, this was my first time there, although there was no flowers there I think it was a goodthing so you had a clear shot across the pond from both sides. I do understand what you mean about this picture being bizzy. I do have other shots where the pic may not be as bizzy.
they did have Koi in the pond swimming about actually, which surprised me. I was trying to get the reflection in the water in most of the shots i took. the next time i will try to get there earlier so I will not have to deal with the sun in my shots.
I'll try to keep that in my about dealing with condensation on the lens.

Yup a wee bit to busy, go back and concentrate on some of the parts of this image, that bridge looks interesting, the reflections look a possible, the green house looks great and take a photo with all those elements in without chopping some of them in half. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
