photo shoot at wedge pond

  • Posted on August 20, 2011 at 9:19 pm

we got up really early this morning (5:30 am! i didn’t know the day could start that early! :lol:) to go on a field trip for my macro photography course. amber and crystal agreed to come along as models – though they slept in the car the whole way there. as a consequence they were much more awake than i was.
the lake was mirror smooth and formed an almost perfect double image.
mirror, mirror
the girls posed on a rock in front of the lake. i think amber might have still been a bit sleepy.
wedge pond
next time they want jackets, hats and mitts though, as it was COLD at that time of the morning.

what is in a name?

cow parsnip
this beauty is prosaically entitled “cow parsnip”, a name that doesn’t really suit it’s intriguing look. now i have nothing at all against cows, (though i must admit to intensely disliking parsnips), but to me this looks more like a fireworks explosion captured in time, than either a cow or parsnip.
