Rainy October Morning by peggysirk

Rainy October Morning

This was a failed experiment in photographing a dogwood tree, in early rainy morning darkness, illuminated by a streetlight, using slow shutter speed and, unfortunately, no tripod. The resulting blurriness kind of gives it an added wet look...so I'm going with it. :)

Three good things:
1. A rainy Monday
2. The month of October
3. Starting my Simplicity Project today...getting rid of 10 things a day each day this month. Things like dried up pens, socks with holes, and dead batteries qualify as dispensable items. :)
very beautiful Peggy

Oh my word I like the sound of that project - I'm going to do it but I need to get rid of fifty things a day :0). I love your tree - no such thing as a failed experiment just an unexpected result!!

Gorgeous colors and lighting! I need to get on board with that project!! I can already think of all the socks I have with no match! Why do I hang on to them, like the other will magically appear?!

This is beautiful Peggy. I like your Simplicity project. Sounds like the right thing to be doing. Always have the intention but...

@bpaquette Very cool! Such gorgeous glass! The colors of the leaves are so similar. If I'd taken the time to use a tripod, I might have had clear detail similar to the window as well. Oh well...I'll haul out the tripod next time. :)

Oh, I don't think it's a failure at all! It's beautiful with the light shining through those brilliant fall colors.
