Playing with my new lens

This was the wonderful sunrise I leapt out of the car to photograph yesterday morning. It just took my breath away.

Colourful autumn leaves are becoming a bit rarer now as the weather gets cooler and wetter but while I was out walking at lunchtime today in a brief spell of sunshine I saw these lying in the grass.

And on the way home I saw this windmill and thought it might make a nice black & white image.

So, a hotchpotch of images today. I'm going to try to find a reasonably priced online course that will teach me about still life photography as I was so inspired by the wonderful photograph that Justine Gordon posted today.

  1. Oh I love these! The first one is so beautiful (I've a soft spot for sunrises and sunsets). I'm playing with a new camera too, and feeling shy about posting things (except for a teeny fall foliage post Monday, all the other photos have been disappointing me) - but you've just inspired to keep playing.

  3. oh my god! that's my name up there! thankyou I feel very priviliged!! that is so kind of you. I love these shots, new lenses take such a long time to get comfortable with, apparently each lens has a 'sweet spot', I think you can easily google the sweet spot of the lens you are using. I have had a 24-70 for 3 months and only last week felt comfortable using it.

  4. Seems our oak leaves just go from green to brown - boring. LOVE your sunrise! I'm not sure I've ever see one that bright.
