A Stormy Christmas Eve

 

It has been a stormy week so far. Lots of rain, very un-Christmas like weather.

This morning Gussie and I went out for his morning walk and the clouds were really whipping by. Very low,

and fairly well lighted by the ambient city light. 

I decided to try a couple of photos, so I grabbed a camera and tripod. The exposures were all manual, around 10 seconds at f10. I wanted to get the movement in the clouds as well as the trees. Did fairly well.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas, and hope some of you will be getting gifts of a photographic nature.

Make a resolution to do some photography with a real camera, not just your phone.

Christmas Lights

 

Tis the season for Christmas lights again, and this morning was a great time to shoot them. Fort Valley is really pretty at Christmas, this year we have some new lights. The huge oaks at the bandstand have these

new lights wit various colors. In the past, they were all clear lights.

This morning we awoke to light fog, and a misty rain. The fog added a little glow to the scene, and the rain wet the streets to give a nice reflection. The wide shots were shot at 1/6 second at f4 with my 28-70.
