54, best light by helenhall

54, best light

Saturday was spent mostly indoors and after the excitement of the day before, I had a bit of a lie in and then it was back to mundane tasks such as scrubbing floors.

I did spent an unfruitful time trying to turn a few badly taken snaps from the street event into a presentable set to share with others. If there is one thing that I am persistently bad at, it is trying to take candid or even more so posed, pictures of groups of people whilst at the same time socialising. For one thing, I had a glass of pimms in one hand, for another I was constantly checking that I remained 2m apart from everyone at all times and thirdly, it was bright sunshine in the middle of the day.

I have had to dip into Saturday's morning walk photos to fill this slot. On our way back from the walk, we paused at a gap in the hedge and I said to M, the light is always good here, then took this simple photo - red campion I think.
Helen Jane, I smiled so much as I envisaged you trying to take the photographs you described. It definitely would have been a tricky task to get the photos you might have seen in your minds eyes. I have to say that the photo you have given us here though is beautiful. The pop of pink against the green is delightful and it has such great Bokeh.

A lovely shot of campion. I'm with you on photographing people at social gatherings. Despite being female I'm no good at multi tasking!!

Beautiful shot and wonderful bokeh. I never used to take my camera to social gatherings, but I can imagine how hard it is.

ha red campion indeed - i only know this as when mr g and i were out cycling we came across fields of this and i looked it up on our return. it's rather beautiful, close up and from a distance. you're right by the look of it that the light is always good there - and the bokeh ;)

Quite a challenge to do street photography while socializing, drinking and distancing! This is lovely, though
