Not all of the exposures were duds at first though. This is one I thought turned out ok. As I look through the images what soon became apparent is the attention required to composition. I see possibilities of how I could have taken these differently, or composed the shot from another angle, or, what I would have left out of the image. I think the adage of "less is more" really is true.

On a little break during one of our hiking expeditions, this tree was suddenly highlighted as the sun came around. I though it looked nice against the dark background. The tree was actually growing in the middle of a lake on a floating peat island. The lake is man-made and when filled during its creation, peat floated to the top of the water and has steadily grown over the last decades.

I should have calledthis "Fly Away" or something like that because I didn't realise there was a plane in the image which just took off from the airport which is situated just around the corner from me. I took a lot of images on this occation the light was just great. Nothing special either, just point the camera and let it do it's own thing.

Here is another one just processed. Pretty abstact but it's the very low sun reflecting off these strange looking clouds. Just amazing. I've still got a couple to go so I might post some more in the next few days.

Some great light the other evening. I think it's the best I've even seen. Grabbed my E-P2 with the Oly mZD 14-150 on it and just sat outside taking pictures of what I saw. I thought I'd post some here. Hope you enjoy them too.
