A Cold & Misty morning

George McNeill 7 Comments

So a misty morning greeted me with a heavy frost coating the world in fine jewels. Just me and the dog out for a morning stroll, with a 17-70 zoom on the camera we headed out. With the mist acting like a giant softbox the landscape soft on the eye, my old pal and I headed off down the road.

Yes this is a road, one of the many little L roads in Ireland.

A stop at one of the small loughs and it’s soft on the eye with the mist still down.

A beautiful morning in a grand part of Ireland where the pace is slow and the company great.

Thanks for dropping by.

Street light

Due to early mornings being dark and the light is fading when going home the only time I can shoot is when its dusk or dawn. So have been out early some mornings while on my way to work. This way taken in a car park with the street lights illuminating the tree. With a long exposure and a light wind you can see movement in the branch’s and not the jogger that ran in front of the camera.

Thank you for visiting

Me,swans and sunsets

365src03.10.2016.JPG

This last week has been great for sunset’s and living around water you get the best from them. Grabbing a fold up camping stool and the tripod I went to the lough down the road from me. with dusk closing the colour’s were deepening. Then two swans swam out from the reeds and one came straight in front of me, how could I resist.

This photo has had no colour adjustments it’s has recorded.

Thank you for viewing

Tones of autumn

The autumn/fall colours are starting to show or in B & W the range of tones on a plant has increased. The trees are just starting to turn except the horse chestnut which is one of the first to show its winter colours. No idea what this plant is but the range of colour/tones is good.

Thank you for viewing.
