DSCF1137_skylightshade2.jpg

skylight from left + shade

What I like about this photograph of young,green grapes is that it combines a touch of pale,light blue skylight on the leaves at the top, as well as conveying a sense of the slightly-cool and blueish light of open evening shade in the shadowed portions of the photo. For me, the successful portrayal of a combination of two different color temperature light sources is the main thing this photo has going for it.
I also include this shot as an example of a steady shot done in basically, evening-time shade at 1/45th second hand-held, with a high degree of image magnifcation. Compared with shot 0904 of grapes,which was done with a 45mm lens and the same shutter speed, the advantage of the VR lens is that I am free to pull off a telephoto shot at 178mm length from about 5.5 feet away, and have a perfectly steady camera platform,in the shade,after 6 PM.
