Rain was forecast, rain was to be expected, rain it did. Who could be upset? In fact, I very much appreciated the time, because sifting through 140 images, not to find one single Image of the Day but to identify and process as many as possible, that’s quite a task. As already mentioned, I use Lab processing on all these images, because there’s really a need to drive the different shades of green apart. I am not really sure about the colors yet, I may get back and make final adjustments later, but that’s easy in Lab.
So far the session looks good to me. I have just counted, and even when I’m really conservative, I can come up with more than 35 usable images. Still, I’ll allow myself the luxury to go back next weekend. There will be different light, I may use different lenses or at least I may be in a different mood.
Seems like image making is not my problem. Stringing them together ain’t either, because as I have outlined in my kick-off post, the order is already given by the sequence of places along the path. What troubles me, is only that I have no idea so far of how to make a book
Today’s Image of the Day is not from the SoFoBoMo session, it’s genuinely from today. Employing the Sigma 70/2.8, I have ventured into the garden, well, more along the wall, just as far as the roof would still cover me, and this was the only flower in reach
The Song of the Day is “It Feels Like Rain” from Aaron Neville’s 1991 album “Warm Your Heart“.




Nice, quiet shot from a rainy day. Fresh and greeny…
When you don’t have time or resources for more than a minimum effort, a macro lens almost always saves the day. Glad you like it
