30 Day Photo Challenge – Day 4 – Clouds

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 4 - Clouds - Central Florida palm tree against the sky - Taken with a polarizing lens filter

This was an interesting frame to capture, because the Florida afternoon sunlight is ridiculously bright today. I couldn’t see anything on my digital screen, and facing into the sun meant I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder, either. I took a series of blind shots — some using a polarizing lens filter and some without. I ended up selecting this one, shot with the polarizing filter, which I really love. It has an almost film-like feel to it, don’t you think? Ah, the days of analog. I think I’d like to start shooting with film again.

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope you’re all enjoying the wonderful three-day weekend! (UK readers, do you get a Bank Holiday?) Here’s Aveline earlier today, during her first-ever outdoor picnic.

The weather turned out to be lovely, despite the intriguing forecast this morning.

And now, we’re all snuggled together on the couch for a little TV before bed.
