Thirty Minute Exercise

August 1, 2020 by Simon Robinson 2 Comments

We went for a walk on the east pier in Dun Laoghaire this morning where it was overcast and spitting rain as sailors got ready for the day’s racing.

Overcast masts and cranes.

I decided that I’d set myself another photography challenge in the garden. Thirty minutes outside with the 100mm macro lens. Thirty minutes afterwards with Lightroom.

I started at 1530 and we went out to the pharmacy at 1600. I resumed around 1700 and I had completed by 1735. Then it took twenty minutes to make this journal post.

    Very impressive. Your photographs are beautiful. If you found this much beauty in 60 minutes in your garden, does that mean beauty is everywhere if we look appropriately?
