Holiday weather
If I ever again decide to have the midsummer week as a holiday, please do me a favour and remind me that I’m an idiot. How many years has this happened now? June is statistically one of the rainiest months of the year… so I shouldn’t be surprised to find that days just get washed away. Like today. It was raining in the morning, pouring by afternoon and the whole thing finished off with a big thunder. In the evening it was finally dry enough to venture out. I am well prepared to photograph in rain, but there’s a limit. Add some wind and it’s a recipe for sitting in front of the computer instead!I was determined not to let a day pass without taking some pictures, and noticed that the ferns looked rather photogenic. I wanted to shoot the ferns last year, but somehow it never happened (after all, they are right behind my empty nextdoor garage so it’s such a stretch to get there with the camera). Maybe next year I can not shoot something else.
My holiday begins 15th July and lasts four weeks. We gonna spend two weeks in Lapland and two weeks somewhere else.
I’m dreaming of shooting some bats and hawk moths this summer. If the weather is calm and dry, I’ll take my camera and go for a moth hunt this night. Shooting bats will be a different story…perhaps 50/1,8 and a flashgun will help me a bit :o)
Ferns are indeed fotogenic. Good work, as usual!
Lapland? Nice!
I have another version of the fern image, with the Orton technique applied to it. It looks stunning, I have it as my desktop wallpaper. The greens really glow!
