Prairie Smoke

This member of the rose family is frequently overlooked earlier in the summer but hard to miss at this stage of its life.  It always looks like its blowing in the wind and this day it actually was.  Shots were taken at each end the pendulum and repeated in hopes of getting a sharp image. Technical: 18 mm focal length, f16 at 1/160, basic enhancements in Lightroom

Prairie Wind

I got a little fresh air yesterday afternoon (90 degrees, 20 MPH wind) and explored Red Rock Prairie managed by the Nature Conservancy.  This large prairie which is primarily grass and named for the exposed rock outcroppings. Few wildflowers were visible and those that were seen were bent in the wind. Technical: 2 stop split ND filter using Lightroom, 1/10 sec., f25
