Description

Although I had to take some stepping stones that weren’t open to the public in the Montreal Botanical Gardens to get in position for this shot, it was worth it.  Halfway through my wide-sweeping bracketing, my exposure meter died with my battery, and I had to find a bench to replace it.  A lesson that anything can go awry at any time!  I took this with my Nikon FM2 and my Sigma 70-300mm macro zoom at 150mm, aperture f/8, and with a shutter speed of 1/60 on Fuji Provia 100 pushed to 400 ISO.
