52 Walks in 2010 ~ Week 4

(I missed weeks 1-3!)

Inspired by a post over at The Ivory Hut, I thought I'd have a go at some night shots (well almost night). She shoots with a Canon S5 IS (the next model up from my S3). Unless they have made some significant improvement in noise level tolerance between models, I don't know HOW she gets hers so good!! Mine were hand held (as were hers, near enough), but unless I was shooting statues... These are lightened too (which I know adds to the noise even more), but they were simply indefinable without that!

So here they are - shot at 4 in the afternoon (it's winter here!) @ ISO 800, speed as low as poss for moving targets (like 1/13, or maybe lower I think!) f.3.4 or lower!;

Sun Flare & Seasons

We have had a week of howling winds and rain. Today the weather was warm and sunny. I just HAD to take a walk. With an upcoming theme at iheartfaces being sun-flare, today was my chance - might be the only one I get for a while (I did get some, but you'll have to wait to see those...)! I so love the colours of autumn, but they are fast disappearing here, as the trees look more bare every day. I took my two youngest and we were out for about an hour and a half - you can see how it went from a sunny day to dusk while we walked. I love what I captured - nearly all the 250 shots! This is a small sampling...

(the house in the trees is where we live :D )

The leaning tower of Wybunbury!

The seasons of a Chestnut Tree

Goosey Goosey Gander!

And then, as we came up our road, on my neighbours tree, there was blossom! Sweet, smelling blossom! How is that?! I even had to use my flash, it was that dark, but I like it anyhow.
