Apr 21, 2005

It was an enjoyable bike ride to work this morning. Sometimes the city can be beautiful. My neighbor's house just around the block looked great in the bright morning sun.

It was a difficult shot, but the little Olympus handled it. The daffodils are in the median of the street and were darkly shaded. I needed flash for the flowers but I thought that might leave the house over exposed as awash in sun that it was. But it turned out ok.

Olympus D-580Z
1/400s f/3.5 at 8.2mm iso50 with Flash full exif

I can only add my awe, in what others already mentioned. This is very nice Don. I love your composition and colors and that slight shadow that you see in this image.

Drenched in gold I would say...the daffs are a bonus too.

Beautiful bright light! I like the light of the sun upon the house.

Good work here. The frame seems just a tad too bright (to my taste, anyway) but the image does project brightness, light, energy, Spring, all those good things!
Guest 22-Apr-2005 07:08
