Pleasant Summer Sunday

Sunday 5th June - Day 169

What to do today? Stare at the rain against the windows all day, in the warmth, or venture out for a photograph... well, madness won through eventually.... armed with umbrella over tripod, the mood was very subdued outside - I think though that the weather had been waiting for me to venture out, because it then got much wetter again!

One of the locals enjoying the weather :)

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO EX DG OS
1/125s f/11.0 at 116.0mm iso200 full exif

It's almost an impressionist painting. You have my respect for venturing out in the rain!

Can't you do something about the weather except enjoy it and shoot great atmospheric photos.

I wish you could see my 'winter' day ... warm, sunny, T-shirt weather, and not a raincloud in sight ... lots of fluffy, white clouds against a beautiful blue sky! Wann swap vistas??? ;)

I'm sure umbrellas were invented for photographers as well as people who go to Wimbledon each year :>)

Oh, hats off for venturing out Lee. Had it been that grim here, I'd have done an indoor shot:-)
