Summer Nights & Lightning Strikes

Summer Nights :: CT

 

These last few weeks have been full of pretty incredible storms.  It has been a great learning experience for me.  Obviously, safety is the number one concern with lightning shows.  Once you take the basic precautions, though, it’s interesting to focus on the absolute beauty that comes along with this powerful display.

This shot was taken in Bolton, CT at the heritage farm. f/2.8, 137 sec, ISO 100, 11 mm

Days Gone By

Days Gone By :: CT

If you follow my IG account, you saw last Friday’s epic rainbow situation.  The sky just blew up, like, Whoa.

After the colors died down a bit, I began my walk to the park entrance, and came across this composition.  It’s just so *New England*.  It is also a perfect example of how beauty really is hiding around every corner here in Connecticut. 🙂

Tractor in the Barn

Parked for the Night

I stopped by the farm yesterday (before I went out to mosquito and tick land) and fell in love with the way the sunlight was falling into the hay barn through the old, warped barn wood on the back wall.

The tractor (which happens to be one of many on the property – the farm owner collects antique tractors) made a perfect subject to fill the frame.  Coincidentally, this will also make a perfect gift for the farm owner come the holidays! Double win! 😉

Hope you are all enjoying some sunshine where you are, and loving on your Momma’s for Mother’s Day.  Now that I’ve finished this photo, and tomorrow’s post on Color Distortions (Teaser!! Make sure to check back! haha) it’s time for me to go enjoy the rest of my Sunday too. 🙂
