A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Webs In The Fog!

 

So Monday morning I woke up for work to see wall to wall fog outside my bedroom window. I spotted these wet spider webs clinging to the telephone pole outside and thought do I have time to grab the camera as I get ready for work...

Given that these things, once noticed, either don't last for long or never seem to be repeated I thought yeah I'll grab the 77D and fit the Sigma 18-250mm lens and get a few shots before the fog starts to burn off.

The dark foliage behind the pole helped to accentuate the threads of the webs and obviously the moisture from the fog had made them glisten in places like mini jewels.

Glad I took the time to snap these, have never noticed them before even on other foggy days and I've learnt over the years of snapping that one must seize the opportunity to take a photo when it presents itself otherwise there's a good chance it will never come again. Or at least not in the same vein as before.

Each photo represents a small moment in time that can rarely be repeated, work will still be there, the webs less likely to be...
