I was late taking Wally out this morning after a late night in the studio. I have had a lot of Real Estate work (FotoSul) over the last few days and I’d rather process the photos at night!
It was 10am before we headed out and many of the bird life, apart from the Bee-Eaters were quiet due to the already above 30 deg heat. The sun at 10am is strong and high at this time of year, so I used it to capture from back-lit shots of some of the plant life. Here are 4 that I captured. Each photo is taken with -2EV (Exposure Compensation) dialled in. The dark background is provided by some distant trees blocking the sunlight.
First up, one of Emma’s favourite plants, the Allium.

One of the many different species of grass growing locally.
The smaller variety of Thistle has already flowered and turning to seed.
Lastly a White Asphodel with a Bumblebee
Some of these images maybe available in the Shop shortly.
