Misty Morning Fogbow
I was out before sunrise but it was a misty morning and the sunrise was not visible so I spent some time taking close-up shots of rocks in the mist. As I walked back up the beach the mist started to clear and this rainbow, or fogbow; as white rainbows are known, appeared. I was fortunate that my 10mm lens was wide enough to capture both ends.
This is the rainbow/fogbow mentioned in my previous post.
I’m flattered…
…that one of my photographs, Mutt-A-Glow-Glow, has been flickrzenned as one of the greats of Flickr.
Panoramas
I have been dabbling with panoramic photos, stitched together from several overlapping photos. Mostly these are landscapes or cityscapes but as Sunbathers, the photo below shows this need not always be the case. It was stitched together from four separate hand-held frames. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger version. The original, full-sized photo is much more detailed but somewhat too large to display here.
Summer’s Here
Well, it looks as though summer has arrived. It was a fairly hot day today and I went for a ride on my bike this morning (let’s pretend that I’m writing this before midnight). There was only a light breeze so cycling wasn’t the unpleasant chore it can be when the wind is really blowing, as it so often does here.
The really cool thing about summers here is the long evenings when it’s time to walk on the beach. Went walking there this evening and there were quite a few people out. I was really pleased with the performance of my camera. The old one did not cope well with low light, having only 100 ISO, but as the new one has a minimum ISO of 200 and can do 400, or 800 at lower resolution, I am able to shoot more on these walks. I love taking photos of people just to see the interesting outfits and expressions that can be captured. Here is one from this evening’s walk.
Beach Biker
You see some strange things at the beach. Today was not very hot but sunny, about 19°C, and there were quite a few people on the beach, playing games, swimming or just sitting in the sun. Then there was this guy.
He was clad completely in black, jeans, t-shirt, boots, leather jacket, all black. He was alone, flying a kite, and I guessed that he might have come to the beach by motorcycle. I didn’t see any motorcycles parked nearby though.
