Low light, fuzzy subjects

My photography mentor, T. L.Gettings, usually refused to take his camera out of the bag unless his shadow was longer than he was tall. That’s pretty much all day around here this time of the year.

The low light (low in the sky, that is) really brings out the best in the tan-and-fuzzy subject matter that dominates most years around Thanksgiving. Here’s a sample:

Grasses and bottletree.

  1. Nice renderings of tan and fuzzy, Mr. Hollow. And T.L. sounds like my kind of photographer. The afternoon light was something today! (ah sun) Here’s to magic light and long shadows 🙂

  2. That bottle tree looks amazing mingling with the tan and fuzzies! It makes me think it should be more of a Northern thing than it currently is. 🙂

  3. Love all the fuzziness. My anemone seed heads would be right at home in your photos. I found several cattails someone had picked and strewn about the lawn near a water tower. I thought cattails were dark brown but these were light tan. Anyway, the seeds were beginning to unravel with thousands of seeds attached to flossy hairlike parachutes much like an unruly version of dandelion seed head. I didn’t realize the velvet like cattail held so many seeds!

  4. Good photography rule. Gorgeous pics! In reviewing my garden photos of this year, I was struck by the change in the color of the light from Spring/Summer (greeny) to Autumn (gold). That color light really works well with the buffs & tans of the seedheads.
