Some days are easy

While photographing an event at the Hahn Horticulture Gardens I had think how lucky I was to be in such a manicured garden on a beautiful day. An easy day for photos. I tried not over think leading lines, depth of field, the EV difference between the shadow and the sunlight, ISO sensitivity, focal length, blah, blah, blah. In case you want to know I used ISO 250 and camera was set to P (auto program). But the photo that worked was underexposed by 1 ⅓ stops. The big white tent was an issue. Got questions? Contact me

Start with some good red wax cheese...
