These magnolias are just coming out one by one and very soon go brown. The photo brings out their natural creamy yellow colour so I turned this picture B&W.
Three good things;
1. Going up north and staying in Moth Manor - a tiny 100 year old cottage standing on a rural airfield. Its called that because there is resident Tiger Moth.
2. No wifi at this cottage so I'll save up my photos.
3. Experimenting with white balance and EV.
@pamknowler Thanks Pam - there now - pretty basic, cold and no heaters but a fireplace and there is firewood way over there under the trees and through thigh length wet grass!
Lovely shot, Maggie. Fav. I hope you are able to get shot of a tiger moth! We are supposed to have some here, but I've yet to see one in the summer. They are what Woolly Bear Caterpillars become after being in its cocoon.
Love the way you have given this magnolia such a beautiful soft creamy effect....the black background shows it off perfectly! Enjoy your trip!! We are seeing the world through your eyes!
I love this! When I lived in Va. we had 3 huge southern ones in the backyard, The smell was amazing when they bloomed!! Wonderful shot!!
