It is always somewhat risky to take the good equipment out, but if you have a bag to keep your stuff in that might be best. For me, people just assumed that I was a professional and didn't bother me. A macro would be great for there, and also probably a 24-105. If the lighting is good, then a tripod might not be necessary. Then again, I have never been to this garden to see how much of it is indoors. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your suggestions. I don't think much of it is inside at all and it is suppose to be a beautiful sunny day ...but in this are, that can change in a heartbeat!


I do have a really good bag to carry everything in so that's not a problem ...it usually looks a lot heavier on methan it feels!



Another point to make is admission is free except to do any professional photography its $125! So, I have to convince them that I am a complete amatuer with onlyprofessional looking gear! No way am I paying $125!
