The title given is Silhouette
The oak and the Sun: 12th August 2019
And this day the sun answered it perfectly. Don’t you just love that pink-blush? And no, the photo isn’t in any way altered; it’s how it came from the camera.

Wonderfully done. Love the hint of pink but mostly love that stark contrast of the bare tree…

Thank you. The pink came as a bonus. I was going for the silhouette of the lightning-struck tree. Mind, I did carefully position myself with intent of capturing sun-flare. As it happens, the clouds muted it. But, pink, bonus. 🙂

I knew what you meant. And I do it often enough. Not enough water, that’s the problem. Muddies the fingers, we being earth-bound creatures, we. 🙂

I’d say it’s more lovely. The eye isn’t distracted by the farm machinery, and the chap mowing the lawn! 🙂

I thank you. I’ve been sitting on it for a while, while I used photos taken from the previous week. But I thought now is the time to use it 🙂

I took several shots from several angles. All variously worked as silhouettes, but this one, the sun was in just the right place.

I thank you, I do confess, I was pleased with it. It was a good day’s shoot all round. Loads of butterflies and dragonflies. And a round turning that added miles to our route!

I can only imagine. I won’t say I don’t see nature around and I like photography. It requires patience isn’t it? This one is really one of your best ones.

I wouldn’t describe myself as patient, or more patient than most. Often the best shots are those I see in a moment and the camera obeys me. Fast.

Yeah that’s right. I have seen people just waiting for hours to get a good shot.

I suppose if that shot is really important to you, then you would. I prefer to take what the moment gives me. There is something magical in that.
