252 - What You Do With What You've Got



We already had Eddi Reader’s album “Mirmama” some days ago, and today’s Song of the Day is one of the finest on that album: “What You Do With What You’ve Got”. Are that wonderful lyrics or what?

I took this photo yesterday evening. Days are long now and this is from 9:20pm. I had already had some wine, didn’t want to drive elsewhere and was still in need of an Image of the Day. I took my tripod, two Lee ND gradient filters (I got a set of them yesterday), went into the garden and shot this image with the Sigma 10-20 at 10mm and f11. Exposure was for seven seconds, that’s what makes the blur on the tree to the left. Afterwards, in Photoshop, I have cloned out some distractions and warmed the image up a little.

Using filters is tedious, but I’ll try that more often now. Let’s wait and see what I do with what I’ve got now 🙂
