Some golden morning light.

I'm really happy with my shots for this week! I got up at 6:30am yesterday so I could catch the golden time just as the sun rose, I'm so glad I did because by 7am the light was completely different and I don't think these shots would have worked out as well.

The first thing I came across yesterday were weeds. Not that interesting a subject that's for sure but I think that golden morning light can make just about anything look pretty...

So I took this shot of some random grass seed weedy thing.

And then I took this shot of of some different grass seed weedy type things.

And then I found some flowers in a nearby garden.

Then the light started to change so I thought I'd try something Clara suggested with blocking the sun with the subject...had some major oh-crap-I-think-I've-gone-blind moments trying to line up this shot but I think it turned out okay for a first attempt. For the record this tree was a bit too tall to make shooting the flowers easy so I was on tiptoe half climbing/leaning through the tree to try and get in line with the sun!

Oh and Clara said that I should try and clone out the jetty from last week's shot of Luka so here's that shot with my first attempt with the cloning brush.
