365/Day 160

Rainy Day~~

LA’s “June gloom” today came with rain, heat, humidity, and winds… We are used to the doom and gloom of June mornings in SoCal, but usually by noon the marine layer has given way to the sun and days can be spectacular. Not today… Very light rain came and went all day putting a damper on my photo plans. So I walked around the garden, that always looks good after some rain, and shot these images.

One Spot, Three Perspectives — My photography class assignment was to shoot three photos from the same spot using different focal lengths. We had to choose one lens, and shoot with: (1) the widest focal length possible; (2) a mid-range focal length (50mm to 70mm); and (3) the highest focal length possible. I chose my Nikkor 18mm-140mm lens. Here is one of the sets I shot.
