Changing light and the magic it does

[QuietOne]

Another day where the sun was in and out, though there wasn't much rain. I was changing various settings every few minutes.

So frustrating when the light does that.
Try it when you are trying to shoot a mountain biking event with 400 competitors. It's bad enough capturing moving subjects every few seconds among trees, but add changing light as well and things get real tricky!

Nice work though ... I like the 1st and 3rd best

3rd all the way for me!

Kat, I liked number 3 a lot. The colors had changed a bit because the clouds were just starting to drift across the sun again. The color shift, and the texture of that upper right leaf was entrancing to me.

MA, no thanks! I have enough trouble not getting run down by the bicyclists on the Greenbelt, even when they warn me. All I had to wait for, in this case, was for the breezes to die down so that the subjects weren't moving quite so much. Seems to be the pattern right now, forecasted to stay that way this week - rain, clouds moving in and out, breezes that tend to gust up at exactly the most inconvenient moment. Should be interesting.
