p.1 #1 · The green heron moved in to the sun on the pond with water lilies


The softer light created by the smoke here in New York City was a delight to work with. I separated the shade images from the sun images as they have such a different look and I wanted each set to stand out rather than be directly compared. We moved over to a different viewing point this time we are sitting on the mettle grill for the overflow catch basin and my camera is resting on it. I used a stick as some would use a bean bag to adjust the angle of my lens and I'm composing with my LCD.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Ps. If you want to see the shade images there are in this post:
