Photo Walk: Fort Stamford Park

I often drive by Fort Stamford Park, and on an early misty morning I made sure I would have my camera within reach so I would step out of the car and take some pictures.

My original plan was to spend no more than 15 minutes and I ended up being there for a little over a half hour. Fort Stamford Park is maintained by the Stamford Garden Club and they do a great job making sure all the plants and grounds are well kept.

Apart from working quickly, my part of the plan was to work with a set focal length, so this time I worked using my Sigma 17-50 mm at it’s widest angle, which ultimately forced me to get really close to the subject. I’ve been watching countless tutorials online about photo editing, so part of the plan was also to take a good variety of shots to bring into photoshop and practice with saturation, contrast and panoramic conversion.

Con cierta frecuencia suelo pasar cerca de Fort Stamford Park, y aprovechando que la noche anterior había llovido, me asegure de tener mi camera disponible para tomar algunas fotos.

Originalmente mi proposito era no estar ahi por mas de 15 minutos, pero finalmente termine quedándome por poco menos de media hora. El cuidado de Fort Stamford Park va por cuenta de los miembros del Stamford Garden Club, quienes se aseguran de cuidar cada una de sus plantas.

Entre los propósitos con estas fotos, quería trabajar usando la misma longitud focal, que en este caso fue la mas amplia posible de mi lente, un Sigma 17-50 mm. Debido a que he estado mirando muchos videos de tutoría por internet, otro propósito era tener tomas con las cuales practicar un poco de edición, sobre todo con saturación, contraste y conversion panoramica.
