reluctant spring

The weather so far this spring has been, shall we say, temperamental. I’m sure things will get warm and sunny very soon, but in the meantime here’s a shot from a very moody morning at the beach.

 

 

Monet’s garden

… or a lawn gone wild? All I know is that the bees and butterflies love it.

I went out in the garden this morning to capture the new bluebells in the dew. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Yesterday morning I enjoyed a beautifully mild, breezy wander at the beach. I decided to try experimenting with my 6-stop ND filter and different shutter speeds to see what effect it would have on the appearance of the water. By changing my lens’s aperture, I ended up with a 1.3 second exposure for the top photo, and a .6 second exposure for the bottom.  Do you have a preference?
