Friday 8 March 2013: Friday evening rooves
After a very wet Friday, the afterglow of daylight fading to night made up for a very grey and dismal day…
Even though I opened up the ISO of this shot to 1600, there was enough light at 7.50pm to take this at a fast shutter speed. After that it was a case of giving the image more contast in Photoshop to get that interesting “silhouette look”. The “Shadows & Hi-lights” menu came into use here too.

Saturday 16 February 2013: Saturday sunset
We’ve had a lovely day in the company of Caroline, Fabrice and their 3 young children who had lots of fun with our two. We had met Caroline and her children in the alps last July whilst we were on holiday there for 2 weeks. They live not too far away from us, so we’ve tried to arrange a meal together for a little while. When you have little ones, that is not always easy.
As we’ve been busy eating and chatting all day, I took this photo of our street as they were leaving. Taken with the little (temperamental) Nikon, this is a similar view to the blizzard shot taken on the 15th of January and in the opposite direction to yesterdays photo.

Indian Summer sunset
Chilly mornings and very warm afternoons. This evening we see electric monster against laurel hedge.
