Conversation in green

Couldn't resist posting this photo of a pair of green hellebores (helleborus viridis).

Freedom

The Sunday was beautiful. Warm and sunny with just some scattered clouds here and there. People set out to enjoy the day as best they could. Some with their feet on the ground, others with their head in the clouds. Who was better off, I wonder...

Wind in the grass

If this picture looks overexposed, it is. And if the grass blades look blurred, they are. The difference is, I wanted to achieve the blurred effect but with the compact camera I had at hand, I couldn't stop down the aperture enough to expose the photo correctly with the longer shutter speed I needed for capturing movement. So, in effect, this photo is a compromise and not a very successful one. In order to achieve the desired effect, I should have come to the meadow later in the afternoon with my DSLR and adjust the settings manually. Oh well, maybe next time...

Not a scene from Hitchcock's movie

The weather here continues to be whimsical... rain is a regular visitor and the sky is filled with clouds of various shapes and forms most of the time.

Out in the field, a cloud of a different kind covered the sky every now and again. But that one didn't consist of condensed vapour but of flesh and bone and sinew and blood and feathers and a number of small brains.

Another candid shot

Rebels without a cause?

A bit more aggressive processing this time but I think it fits the occasion.

My contribution to yellow

Again, without any commitment but I liked the idea.

This collage is made strictly of flowers but as I was walking through the town, I noticed an amazing amount of things yellow. Just realised too late I could photograph those, too.

Oh well, maybe some other time.
