An Avid Lensman

Sunset over the Nadder...

Today saw sunshine!!

Feeling under the weather and with a whole load of images still left to edit from the Exhibition launch, I wasn't too keen to go out for long. Got some nice cherry blossom pics, against a blue sky, with the Nikkor 135mm f2, just picking out branches and blossoms, set against each other. One of those would have been my Blips.

Then had to deliver a CD with images on it and had the 18-200mm attached. Not a great lens, as I've said before but when it came to sunset shots over this Salisbury river, then it had to do!

You could have had catkins silhouetted, a couple of ducks - too pretty and the couple that I wanted as reflection shots of a distinctive nearby tree was spoiled rather by a thick and fast flowing river that all but broke up the reflection.

So, went for this, I liked the angle of the tree and the way it holds the image in and the suggestion of foreground detail. I do tend to prefer vertical shots whereas most of the others were horizontal. This just seemed to be peaceful yet a bit different, too.

Immediately after this, the building cloud closed in and there were flurries of snow! Which then soon stopped. make up your bleedin' mind, Mr Weather!
