Location
I took this photo on the back deck of my home in Country Place, Carrollton, Texas.Time
The picture was taken in the afternoon around 1 p.m.Lighting
I used natural lighting with no additional filters or equipment.Equipment
This picture was taken with my Pixel 6 Pro.Inspiration
I wanted to create a meditation area for my back yard. I found this statue at a local nursery and fell in love with it. I decided to put it on my Garden Center in the corner of my covered deck next to a Gardenia plant. I later added an orchid, two doves and a sign that says, "Be Calm." The Buddha statue was the starting point of my project and inspired me to complete the area.Editing
Because of the perfect lighting, no post editing was necessary.In my camera bag
I carry a camera bag with my Nikon Z-50 and its assorted lenses. I also carry a smaller bag with my battery charger and camera accessories. My pixel 6 Pro is with me at all times to capture moments on the fly.Feedback
I have found that there are exciting things to take a picture of in your own living space. I created a back yard that would be appealing to all kinds of people while maintaining areas for peaceful meditation and to inspire my daily back deck art therapy of sketching. Take photos of what you love, what inspires you, and what you are passionate about. Others will take pleasure in seeing your perspective on life and you will be able to inspire others, as well, through the process of sharing the unique art of photography!
