Leaves, Stars, Planets and a Bird
Yesterday the weather was up and down, one minute there was rain and high winds, the next there was nice patches of light hitting the trees and fields. Unfortunately all every time the light looked nice I was doing something else or by the time I got out with the camera it had turned to rain again. So, feeling the need to photograph something I opted for some leaves -
This morning, before the Sun had decided whether she was going to put in an appearance or not I was out in the lane watching the clouds flit by and stars appear and vanish. Rather than just stand and watch I decided to grab a couple of photographs, the first is of Jupiter above the trees (it’s the brighter dot lower left).
And then I turned the camera towards the Plough.
After this I went for a bit of a wander and as I returned to the house decided to watch the Sunrise, as the sky brightened I spotted a bird having a morning flight and managed a quick photograph.
Light
Sometimes capturing the moment is impossible, or at least it is for me, this morning the light was changing so quickly you hardly knew where to look as no sooner had you focused and set the exposure than the light had moved on to another part of the Pennines. Anyway, here’s a couple of photographs of the early morning light.
Zooooom
For some time I have been trying to find a way of allowing people who visit this site a way of zooming and scrolling around the larger panoramics that I post. There are a few solutions online but I have yet to find one I am truly happy with. Today I tried out Zoom.it which does work, but I would like to have more control over how it all works and perhaps host everything myself. Here’s a photograph from this morning on zoom.it -
And here’s an older image I tried on zoom.it -
