Swans in the mist
Many of my best images were taken from the bottom of our garden, because, when the light is special, you can get down there in thirty seconds. This shot was taken yesterday morning, when the sun was still very low in the sky. Just printed it out to A3+, and it looks quite good. So, I’ve put it into my ‘exhibition collection’…….if I ever get round to having one!
Flaps down!
Obviously I need to get myself a 400mm lens…..a lot of subjects are just too far away for the 70-200mm. Anyway, as you may see, I’ve had a wee play with the brush tool on Lightroom 2, adding some colour where it didn’t exist in reality. I’m old fashioned enough still to feel I’m cheating!
Evening Sky
Last night I noticed some beautifully lit clouds from the kitchen window.
I grabbed the 5D (which happened to have the 70-200mm lens fitted), and
walked up the drive. I knew the gorgeous light would probably last only a
few minutes, so there was no time to find the tripod. About 40 metres from
our gate there is a defunct railway bridge which makes a good viewpoint. So
this is one of 10 or so quite interesting shots I took, ISO400, 70mm 1/250
sec. at F/10 (I suspect my 24-105mm has more depth of field at 70mm?).
