johnloguk > 8.9.09 - Me, the Tree and the Golden Hour

Summer returned for a last hurrah today, with temperatures approaching 80F. As I was heading home this evening I noticed that the light was looking special, so I took a detour out of town to take some pics. I chose this as my Daily, but I could easily have chosen any of these;   http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053630_nJYqk?ref=mf#643305033_QKjnn

or these;   http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR?ref=mf#643293458_AAr95

There have been more problems with Smugmug this evening, and it has taken over 3 hours to upload just 6 photos. It is now 00.25am so I'm off to bed!

When I went down to the river yesterday evening the light was very flat as I went through this field, so I wanted to go back today if the light was better, and it was!

There are few more from today here;   http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR#621512472_xD66U

I went for a walk down to the river this evening, hoping to get some sunset shots. The sunset didn't amount to much, but I got a few good photos, including these very inquisitive cows :)

johnloguk > 28.4.09 - Somewhere, over the...............

How many times have you posted a boring Daily, and then something like this happened later? Well it happened to me yesterday. I was driving to play my mate Ian at squash last night when the storm clouds started to break up. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this huge rainbow, a full arch, but I was driving down a tree lined road with nowhere to stop for a photo. Then I spotted my chance, a quick u-turn in the road and dived into the car park of a Mormon church. The sun was so low, and the arch so high, that there was no way to get all of the rainbow in shot, but through a gap in the trees I had this view. The light was incredible, the trees looked more like October than April. I fired off a few shots, but it was still raining heavily and the rainbow didn't last long. When I emerged from squash an hour later there were the remnants of an incredible sunset, but sunsets are a lot more common than this view so I didn't mind missing it :)

The weather forecasters said rain this weekend, but they were wrong, maybe tomorrow? I've been very lax at commenting this weekend because I've been so busy. Maybe tomorrow :)
johnloguk > 20.4.09 - The Summer Starts Here

After a particularly manic, but generally successful day, I went for an early evening wind down walk round Lincoln West Common. The light was stunning, a sort of golden haze, the breeze was warm and soft. I spent most of my childhood playing on this ancient field. Once the evenings started to get warmer and lighter, all the kids would finish their homework and flood out onto the Common for games of football. We would stay out until it was too dark to see the ball, or until our Mothers came looking for us. Tonight was one of those evenings. 

But these days I'm older, and there isn't anyone to come and drag me back home. But I am now allowed in pubs, now so that's how I finished the evening, watching the sunset with a pint of porter in the shadow of Lincoln Castle. Bring on Tuesday :)
