The Quiet Picture

Finding my voice in the silence of nature

Changing weather

Island in a sea of grassesSeems like a repeat from last Saturday. Weatherwise. Except it was a lot more windy – just as well the flower season is over because it was borderline too windy even for landscape photography. I tried some long exposures to blur the grasses but I had to delete half the frames because they were shaken. Using a tripod.

Rainbow down the streetLater in the evening when I was wondering if I should go out to catch the light that was emerging, it suddenly started raining and I happily stayed indoors. Until I saw the sunlight again, which can only mean one thing – rainbow! When it happens you don’t have a lot of time, so I could forget all about taking myself somewhere interesting and instead had to make the best of the trees I have down the street. As fine as the rainbows are, these trees are starting to get old… I’ve lost the count of how many rainbow pictures I have taken down the street here, but I guess the number will keep growing anyway. Just can’t resist a good rainbow!

    Hey, the mushroom season is on! -They don’t even mind the wind..

    Rane is right. At least those have some really bright colours (some of them do…). But otherwise it seems much better today, so I think we will see more pics later on today.

    I saw rainbow yesterday just as well, but I think my shot was vastly inferior to this one.

    It’s ages since I’ve done any mushroom photography… a few years ago I took plenty, not sure what happened. There is certainly no lack of them in the forest so I should give it a go again.
