January 6th: Moss and camellia blossom
6th January 2008
This wall is near our basement and shaded by this huge camellia bush–tree, really–and the light there is sometimes dappled, sometimes streaked, but always subtle and lovely. I didn’t capture what I wanted here, which was the way the moss on top of the wall just seemed to glow in the dark rainy day. But this is still a satisfying photo for me.
Shooting and processing notes
Shot this time with the 70-200 F4.0 L at 73mm (must have tweaked the zoom ring a bit by accident), f13, 1.3 seconds at ISO 200. I told you it was dark. I’m pretty sure all I did was choose the white balance for this one. It was lovely right out of the camera.
