Japanese Gardens - 11-09-2008, 10:30 PM


Spent some time at the Japanese Gardens in the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens yesterday. Sunlight was kind of harsh, and the colors were not what I had noped for. These were about the best I was able to muster. C&C is always welcome.

I’ve tried using a polarizer filter but still didn’t like the results when shooting in the middle of the day. I won’t even try it any more unless it’s early or late. I actually prefer an overcast day when doing this kind of work, but we don’t always have a choice, so when it’s clear skies it’s either early or late. And if it’s overcast I hope there’s no wind…

I think the bridge in #2 may be the most photogenic spot in the gardens but I really like the composition of #3 with the water pulling, not leading, you into the photo and great depth for a space that's not that large.

Poor focus behind the camera creates as many bad photos as poor focus through the camera!
