A couple last ditch attempts for this month’s Picture This Photo Contest at Gardening Gone Wild. Still have an hour or so to make a decision which to enter. Previous attempts here.

Miscanthus in motion
Have to admit that this month’s Picture This Photo Contest at Gardening Gone Wild is a bit daunting. The whole idea is to use purposely long exposures to show blur and motion. I’m not a technical expert, so I appreciated the nudge to stretch a little. I’ve discovered that there are things I can do with a tripod and long exposures just about the time I usually put the camera away in the evening.
I’ve always been a fan of ornamental grasses precisely for the element of motion they bring to the garden. So Sunday evening, I tried my best to capture some motion on a variegated miscanthus. Lots left to learn.

‘Floating’ flowers
Toward the end of summer, I’m always amazed by the shear mass of the garden. But during this lush time, it’s the floating flowers that fill the space.
