Relax! Take in the View

This third collection of images from the Asticou Azalea Garden showcases various scenes captured along the water's edge. It continues through the peak blooming period in late May and early June, and even features a macro photograph of a flower displaying its filament and anvil. This is an ideal place to spend a couple of hours, particularly if you're looking to capture some special photos. The secret lies in the quality of light and camera settings. You can increase your odds of success by using a tripod and a shutter release cable or its wireless counterpart. Don't forget to take a moment to relax on one of the benches waiting for you.
