Step by Step Image: Lake Eola Turtles

Step by Step Image: Lake Eola Turtles

Step by Step Image: Lake Eola Turtles

Jan 26, 2015 | Posted by Brian Beard | Tips and How-To's |

During a visit to Florida over the holidays, I went with Erin and my family to downtown Orlando and Lake Eola. Like any lake in Florida, there’s an abundance of wildlife, and it gave me the opportunity to use a new smartphone photography tool – my selfie stick (though I didn’t use it for a selfie in this case).

The turtles in this photo were sunning themselves on a rock about 2 feet or so below the level of the sidewalk I was on. To further complicate things, there was a railing, so one can’t just lean over the edge of the floor. I attached my phone to the selfie stick and extended it to its full length. Let me tell you, I was nervous – this was the first time I’d ever used it outside the house, and here I was holding my phone over a lake!

I lowered the phone slowly so I wouldn’t scare or disturb the turtles, and snapped a few photos using a remote shutter button (came with the selfie stick). Here’s the best of the originals:

And that’s it! Here’s the resulting image, one my my first ever with the selfie stick!
