Pictures form Botanical Gardens

It was my first time to go out with level 4 class, I had a good and
also tired time on the same day when we had walked through
(I felt that way...) mountain and visited around Botanical Gardens.
I thought I'll die in the mountain before I arrive there. lol
After that my leg was just like a crab when I walked,
however I still had a good time,and I also got a chance to practice my photography skill.

The photos down there are taken by me from Botanical Gardens.
Here have many flowers, and trees. There also have different style gardens like Japanese garden and Chinese garden.People who like flowers will like to visit there, I think.

I'll go there next time, because this time I didn't take good photos and didn't have enough time to visit all the gardens.


I used PS(Photoshop) to change the color more blue, dose everyone knows how to change color like this from camera?because I don't want to use PS to change my photos too much , I want keep and use original photos, but I really like color that are very dreamy.
I'll try more white-balance, but I still have to say that using PS is more easily then cameras.

I think the photo is very funny~~. lol

This time's photos I give myself 60 points, because I failed many times,
some of them were out of focused and the composition of photos are not very will.
Having the experience from this time, I believe next time will be better! : )

I remember when I was in High school I had always taken one day walking trip
for taking pictures, and I had always walked around public gardens, zoos
and mountains just for taking macro photo.I really had a blast when I was taking photos, I could wait at a place for hours just for the best shot, I spent a lot of time chasing insects and taking photos.
Nevertheless, since I had been in Japan, I stop taking photos because I had had to work in my free time and films are expensive.Year by year, I forgot how much I love to take photos, I used my free time for sleeping and staying at home because I was so tired to go outside, I only want to save my energy for working and doing my homework. After I left Japan and came to the USA I bought a digital camera and the kit lens, right now I have more time (too much time though...) to start off to take photos and learn photography again. But funny thing is I miss the busy days in Japan.

I like the color, sometimes I don't like pictures

have too many colorful colors, I prefer mellow colors.
I think I like the colors that will make people feel a little bit
sorrowful, because I think it reminds people of past memories.

I like the photo because the Blue sky, green leaves and

seeds made me feel I'm in Hawaii when I saw it.
What do you guys think about it?

Bees has always made themselves busy hum.
However they are still my favorite topic, because they are so cute
and they are hard workers.When they are busy pollinating,
they'll ignore you when you are around them.
But! always be careful when you see Wasp.
They are not nice bee!!

Plants, insects and animals have always been my favorite topics,
so I have always been taking photos with macro lens,
but sad thing is I don't have a really macro lens.
My boyfriend said he'll give me a macro lens for my birthday gift,
BUT I didn't receive it yet.... it was one month ago.
I wish when he sees this he will feel a little bit pressured.
(He said, "yes, I felt." ) lol

Anyways, I had a fun day.But if it is possible...
I really don't want to walk so much like last time again. lol
Thanks everyone for reading all the words in this post.It's a long post.
