Many thanks to Baz for being our first guest-host on the new PT site!! He has chosen a great theme in 'Water In Motion'. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's shots for this one.
I had lots of photos to fit this theme. Here are my entries:
1) Sunshine Showers, Upton House, Dorset.
2) Sunlit Waterfall, Zion National Park, Utah.
3) Wild Waves, St Govan's Headlands, Pembrokeshire.
oh wow mitch
ReplyDeleteI guess that means you like them :-))
DeleteLove the rain live - perfect.The catch of the sun on the water drops is great and the Welsh waters are certainly rough and rocky. All three wonderful captures of the water action.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. Rain, I've found, is not the easiest thing to capture well. It's best if there is sunlight at the same time. Which isn't all that often!!! LOL. The crashing waves are a regular feature of our rocky coastline here in Pembrokeshire.
DeleteReally like that rain shot but the rest are great too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynda :-))
DeleteThree great shots but that of the sunshine showers is my favourite... very pretty composition...
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita. It was just the right place to capture a 'sunshine shower', the courtyard outside the cafe I was sheltering in had lots of nice flower arrangements.
DeleteJust the day to stay indoors. Standing underneath that would prolly be great. Majestic spray of water.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anders. Standing under that waterfall is perfect on a really hot day....and it was REALLY hot that day!!!
DeleteFantastic Mitch I remember well being with you for the first shot and the others are great as well thanks for inviting me to host this week;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the coffee was good in that place while we waited for the rain to stop. LOL. Many thanks for hosting, mate.
DeleteThat first shot of the garden in the rain is one of those that makes me just take a breath in - wow. Colorful and peacefu.Look at the moss on the roof - you must get a lot of rain. It almost looks - hobbity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Benni :-)) The roof on my own house tends to gather moss like that, too. It's the rather damp climate we get here!!! LOL.
Deletethose waves are huge? was there a storm brewing? the middle shot is very cool and the top one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHi Danette. No storm that day, the sun was shining, but there was a very strong wind blowing in off the sea that was creating really big waves.
DeleteThree different photos for the theme and all are out standing captures Mitch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Milli :-))
DeleteI remember the first one, sunshine showers, I have tried for ever to photograph a rain storm, without luck. The waterfall from behind is also familiar, a great shot, too. Love those wild waves, slippy on the rocks, I am sure. Lovely contributions.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne. The day I was shooting those wild waves, I was glad I have a really powerful zoom!!! LOL.
DeleteI am really impressed how you captured the rain fall in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteThe third surely shows the water movement.
Thanks Marcel :-))
DeleteOooo Wow Mitch~!! Love the rain coming down~!! That is an amazing capture~!! And the Sunlit Waterfall,Beautiful~!! But, My favorite is the wild waves hitting the rocks, Ooooo WOW, Beautiful~!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy :-))
DeleteI'm impressed by the way you pictured the rain... fantastic! (I even had a look at your exif info; I thought you had a longer exposure time...) I love the last one very much too... lovely little blue touch in the water :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kia :-)) It didn't really need a longer exposure, the sun was shining through the rain quite strongly, a longer exposure would have caused some 'burn-out'.
