Nature in Photographs

Flowers and Animals

That  was going to be the title but i thought the nature one sounded a bit better. The flowers were from last week when Kate and I went to an old stately home and gardens. It was extremely hot and there was chickens in the car park. We weren't allowed to film or take photographs inside the house but you could in the gardens, hence these lovely flower pictures. The animals were from a country walk into town with Kate. We went on a quiet public footpath through the farms and fields. I don't have as many pictures of the animals because Kate kept jumping into the shot, also because it was very warm so we didn't stop for long.

How to: Get Cool Painted Light Photographs

Get your camera

Up the ISO from 100 to 200-400

Go to a dark place with a source of light that is moving

Put the camera on shutter speed priority

Set it to around 2"/5" seconds

Keep your camera still. The light moves and makes pretty patterns but if you move the camera it blurs. Use a tripod if you have one, you don't need one just hold it still or put it on a wall or something flat. 

Go crazy get snapping. Experiment with colours speeds shapes people light sources. Get out there and enjoy it.
