Dogwood Explosion

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 8, 2012590 views7 comments
An explosion of spring light in Andover, MA on a foot path near where I work and another experiment with a small camera. I stopped, looked up and was completely taken in by this scene. Captured on a noon time walk. Just getting out even with my small camera is very satisfying to me.

Canon Power Shot G1 X
ISO100 1/400sec f/8 15.1mm
Hand held

Thanks for having a look. Interested in your thoughts.

Excellent Spring feel to the picture capturing the joy and emotion of a scene is very much part and parcel of a photograph and this shot puts me there the little bit of flare on the left adds not detracts from the essence of light and airiness conveyed.

Very nice, Eva. Initially I was a bit skeptical about the left side, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.

What Ian said Eva. Joy comes flying through loud and clear in this photo.

I like the overall luminosity of this image. Nice colors as well.
