Weekly Photoblog 2010 - Week 35

6Sep2010

Three photos of foxtails in a field, taken over the course of about a half hour. These are presented in order chronologically. What a difference the light makes!

#04355 - Foxtails
Shortly before sunset.

#04359 - Foxtails
At sunset.

#04361 - Foxtails
Shortly after sunset.

I love the patterns and textures of grasses, and I've noticed that I'm frequently drawn to that pattern and texture (and sometimes color) as the subject itself.

In hopes of exploring this a bit more, I've created a new photoset entitled De of Graminoids, which is now posted in the Photography section of the site. This includes some of my recent photos of grasses, as well as some from the archive.

This week's theme: of green and gray. Two very different subjects and compositions, one color scheme (by chance only).

#03828 - Marsh Gradient
Saltwater marsh at nearby Hewlett's Point.

#03975 - Reflected Form
Sunlight reflected off a windshield, through a drawing on the front door (with glass markers), and onto the ceiling.

These two long exposures of a distant storm were taken one night last week. Both have focus issues (I suspect my attention was not on the photographic details as I battled mosquitoes), but I like the compositions, particularly the second shot.

It seemed to take forever for this thunderhead to get close to the moon, but once there, it seemed to move way too fast to compose the image!

I'm running way behind on getting photos up this month so I'm back dating the next few entries. This distant storm was photographed (but not while actually driving) while on the road in July.

In one long afternoon at Chincoteague, Owen went from being an ocean newbie who was easily rolled by larger waves, to a bodyboarding fanatic, catching those same waves and riding them all the way to the beach.

For the past few years we have grown a long strip of Zinnia's next to our garden. But this spring I had both motivational and time management issues and never managed to get the tiller out of the barn... Consequently our Zinnias (and much of our produce) are coming from Yellow Finch Farm, a fantastic local CSA.

These Zinnias had been cut close to a week when I photographed them, but they still looked beautiful.

28Jun2010

It seems like the past week or so has been filled with bad news and sadness. But we've also had our fair share of evening rains that have brought out the rainbows. So in all its schmaltzy glory, here is a set of rainbow photos from the past week.
