Wow! Could there be a better subject for me? Everyone knows I spend half my summer taking pictures at Striebel Pond. But first, there was a birthday party for my sister and much of it took place outside.
Take a beautiful outdoor setting, some playful kids, and you're bound to get some interesting pictures.
Now back to Striebel Pond. I walk there everyday. Except this week when I walked there once. Last night. At dusk. Looking for that perfect shot. But I never found it. I found these though.
The golden sunset shots.
The pinks and roses and mauves.
And the silvers which are my favorite. Trouble is I just can't capture the play of light that makes so many different shades of shimmering silver. But I tried.
And these berries in very low light with my new 35mm lens.
To get outside with everybody else, go to Beth's Ishouldbefoldinglaundry and maybe even join in.

ReplyDeleteAgh! I'm jealous of the new lens- a 50mm is next on my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are at the pond so often....how lovely. I never thought about sunsets as silver. I'll look a little closer next time. I too included a sunset picture-since picking up my camera for the first time in May...I'm finding a new appreciation for that time of day. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your ducks! Great captures.

ReplyDeleteSo, you got a new lense. Good for you. i love the sunset shots. They are awesome. I still want to visit Streibel pond. Maybe we can go some Saturday or Sunday being I am back at school. I'm a little sad that we only got one walk in this summer. There should have been many more.

ReplyDelete"Golden hour" light is my absolute fav! Your pond pictures are always beautiful and today is no exception. :)
