GENERAL NOTES (Parking, etc.)
The location is Angle Lake Park, and it's easy to find (and get to) if you're traveling North on 99/International Boulevard, about two to 3 blocks past the light rail transit station, on 200th. Parking for the lake is immediately off the street, and while there isn't much, there were lots of spots available (in the middle of the day).
I love the Panasonic FZ1000, so if I complain about not having had more than one camera, I'm not saying I don't appreciate it! But, there were a few shots, especially the one with the tall pine trees, where I would have liked to use a perspective control (tilt/shift) lens to keep things looking more real (because I had to angle the camera upward, the trees turned out looking kind of angled).
*As A.I. (artificial intelligence) started sneaking into the photo & video production industries, I decided to go for 100% realism in my work. What this means for me, is to shoot for realistic-looking photos and video content. My approach includes using custom, lens-sensor specific CAMERA SETTINGS (and sometimes lens-sensor LUTs when needed). I never use A.I. to generate images, and I don't do tricks using Photoshop. There are adjustments I make to produce more accurate PRINTS but my goal is to limit editing as much as possible.
