Trafalgar Grass II
More of the Trafalgar Park grass which I posted about a couple of days ago, including a long exposure.
This was at sunset, so some of the shots were beautifully lit; but in some instances I resisted the lovely yellow hues and converted to black and white; just because.
The bottom shot is a long exposure in which I was hoping to get the grasses blurred in an interesting way, sort of smooth like water can get. It did not really work, but I like the idea and will try again sometime. I really like that this macro lens will take the filters from my 50mm lens.

This post prepared in advance of my trip. I will be back in a few days; in the meantime this is a continuation of a series from Trafalgar Park, in Oak Bay near Victoria, BC. I won’t be reviewing the blog, but will reply to comments when I get back.

Amazing! I love the color. The B&W images are beautiful as well, but the color is so vibrant and rich in the others. kudos.

Thank you Ryan. In some of the ones that are black and white the exposures did not lend themselves too well to being presented in colour, but allowed a conversion that brings out the textures nicely, which was one reason I converted them.

Thank you Toad – that one one came out so much better than I expected, my eye compensating for the effect of the low sun did not see the colours the way they were captured, but should have…

Thanks Karen – I agree about the colours especially which are emphasized by the setting sun.

I especially like the black and white and the bottom shot. The bottom one is so peaceful and makes you want to just sit down and take it in, slow down the day.

Hi Paula – thanks for your comments. You could sit down, comfortably, and take it all in, because just out of frame to the right is a bench!
