Friday started out very overcast with the odd shower. By the afternoon things turned out more cheerful with blue sky, white clouds and plenty of Sunshine. Only a stiff, cool breeze to spoil it a bit. I managed to find a spot where I could set up the tripod and camera out of the wind with the intention of shooting a bit of video of any Sun spots. As it happened there was more cloud than I thought which was moving rapidly across the Sun as can be seen in the middle section of this short video:
Easier to photograph were some spotty creatures I spotted around the garden.
Seven spot Ladybirds enjoying the warmth of the Sun in sheltered locations:
The first two were taken with the Nikon S9050 and the final one with the Canon 50D, 70-100mm zoom with added macro lens.
I think the clouds add and don't detract at all.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the Ladybirds. Things must be warming up down there.
Yes Adrian. Without the cloud I wouldn't have bothered to upload it.
DeleteThe sun video is so neat. When the clouds move across it, it almost seems to my eyes that the sun is moving in a circle.
ReplyDeleteBonnie: It's something we can't normally see.
Deletesweet little ladybugs (that's what we call 'em in the states). :) the sun looked like a big ol' egg yolk. :)
ReplyDeleteTWG - sunny side up!
DeleteI'm with Adrian on the clouds.
ReplyDeleteWilma: That makes three of us.
