Works or not? (#40158)

Another shot from diwali but not from the same day. Brought my tripod along to get a longer exposure on the firework shots. Not sure if it works or is necessary as the strong wind drags the trails sideways. I’m actually taking firework photos tomorrow – a nice coincidence considering this is from 3 years…

One Tree Hill.

Taken from a car, on the way to the beach. Silhouettes usually look better in black and white. White space on the left is because of a tree in the foreground.

Wait for Fossils.

Back to my DIY tilt shift 50mm. Artsy shots are made very easy.

Tap.

Just something strange and eerie for the morning. Used the 100mm macro here, it gives such a smooth picture, almost like film.

Butterflies And Lack Thereof.

This pretty much sums up this year’s butterfly abundance, though this could also be a wasp nesting.

Diwali. (#40136)

Apparently the biggest Diwali festival in Europe is in Leicester. There were 100s of people some of whom managed to stay completely still throughout the 20 second exposure! P.S.: Celebrating 2000 hits recorded yesterday since the start of this blog in february. Almost 500 hits this month alone!

Day 7: Sap.

What you see at the right bottom of the berry is not rain or dew. That’s solidified sap. I remember I used to eat cherry sap off the trees as a child… I wasn’t the most normal of children.
