I went out this morning looking for sunbeams, and even managed to get a few pictures, though they weren’t as good as the ones I saw last year when I didn’t have the camera with me.
The header picture is taken with the Pop Art setting which peps up the colour a notch or two. The sunbeam picture below is taken on the normal setting and is, as you can see, much greyer.

I then carried on a bit further and took pictures of bluebells and litter. I didn’t actually intend taking pictures of litter but I was concentrating on the bluebells so much that I didn’t notice the litter until later.

It was, in other words, a mixed morning.

I have the same problem with sleep and never get up early unless I absolutely have to. However, those sunbeams were definitely worth the effort. Magical!
It’s no effort on Sunday – I have to get Julia to work for 6am. 🙂
Nice soft focus. If you have not gone to sleep in front of the telly, you might be able to use evening light which can be good
Ah yes, the er… soft focus. I must clean the lens more often.
Don’t think so. I think it’s shooting towards the light
Yes, I see what you mean.
These are lovely photos of Sherwood Forest, Quercus!
Thank you – though I prefer your pictures of Oregon. 🙂
Lovely images. 😁
Thank you. 🙂
You’re Welcome ☺👍
I know when I’m out taking pictures what I most want is to capture the light. Think of that! Photographing a sunbeam. Lovely.
I really need to get up earlier. The quality light had gone by 7am.
Early morning light is a bit blue and a little easier to capture.
It’s definitely easier to capture, though I didn’t realise it was bluer.
Yes, it’s the kind of light that wakes you up for the day–that the electronic screens put out–and should be avoided at night!
Ah, so no late night eBay! Now things become clear.
That is my common song too.
It takes so long getting off to sleep it seems a shame to waste it by getting up.
