The temperature has been see-sawing all over the place right now. Down one week then back up the next. Today it was hovering around 80!! In December! Next week it’s going to be below 50. The following week I’m headed to Rhode Island, and the temperatures will be 20-40 degrees. Sheeeeesh! I’d better pack my gloves. Maybe two pairs.
Although I really dig this time of year and I’m really looking forward to some snow in the mountains a little later, part of my mind is stuck in Spring. This image is from our workshop last Spring at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. We had a blast and I’m really looking forward to next year. That class is starting to fill up so if you are thinking about joining us get your deposit in early.

I love the timeless nature of this scene and the way that the spanish moss accentuates the curve of the tree boughs. I used my trusty 24-70 f/2.8 lens that I’ve since I got my D800, and stepped further back using a longer focal length (62mm) to compress the scene which helps to draw the viewers eye in. It helps to lead the viewer down the path and through the scene. The 24-70 is a fantastic lens and it really doesn’t get enough praise, especially from me. I hereby pledge to use it more often. 🙂
