This morning a photographer friend very generously let me shoot with his camera for a little while. He has an incredible Sony camera that I was so grateful to have the chance to try. When I took this photo, I said, "Oh my God I think I got it...." and then I couldn't look because I thought for sure I missed it. I made my friend come look. When he did, the others there did too and they all started celebrating. I won't lie, I cried right there at the JC Raulston Arboretum when I saw this on the review screen.
I am incredibly proud of this image
