Bonsai Tree

Bonsai Tree Silhouette at The Huntington Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California

I was on a date with my girlfriend at The Huntington right before Thanksgiving when I saw an opportunity to photograph a silhouette of this bonsai tree. I didn’t have a camera with me on this day (I no longer have an excuse now that I have a Fuji X10!), so I made a mental note to return on Black Friday so I could photograph it. Sure enough, I made it to this spot exactly at the same time I was there two days prior.

This was also my first photo shoot with the 5D MKII since breaking it in October. My tripod-mounted camera fell over onto the sidewalk when I went to pick up my bag off the ground and stopped working. I made the rookie mistake of not securing the legs prior to stepping away. Thankfully my lens wasn’t damaged but as you can probably imagine, it was a sickening feeling.
