Autumn Waves

 

We enjoyed the crashing waves and color while in Michigan a couple weeks ago. I couldn't resist putting a video together in what was otherwise a trip for landscape photography. This experience also tipped the balance to get an upgrade on the Sony RX10ii, more to come on that note.

Winter Wind

 

I usually think of the winter wind and how it will limit my outdoor time. Walking in the windswept prairie I think of its direction and how to keep it from watering my eyes,burning my face, and taking my breath away. There is a rhythm to it and watching prairie grass move with it can be mesmerizing, if you are dressed for it.

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
