After the rain shower
The balmy warmth has deserted us. Instead blustery changeable weather is the norm, with frequent sharp showers. Here is a rose leaf in the early morning in our garden after such a shower. This was taken with an ultra wide lens, which provided and interesting perspective. Developed in Aperture, rather conservatively, to just enhance the […]

Battered by rain
Irises are lovely flowers and I got up this morning full of good intentions to photograph the ones that are just starting to bloom in our garden. Unfortunately, although the light was perfect – a dull diffused light which didn’t cast strong shadows – the flowers weren’t. A heavy rain squall had passed through in […]
