I wasn't sure this shot would even turn out. I didn't have my tripod so I set my camera on a railing on a foot bridge hoping that the vibration of people walking would stop. The camera settings are below. Thankfully, using an ISO of 1250 allowed for a fast enough shutter speed to minimize the effects of vibration. Because I didn't need a wide depth of field in the dark f/2.5 worked well.
Mermaid Against the Atlanta Skyline
Mermaid topiary at the Atlanta Botanical Garden posing next to the downtown Atlanta skyline. The building in the left background is the orchid house. Didn't make it there this trip. Maybe next time.
