The green revolution is here again – all different kind of greens can be experienced all around in nature at the moment. I just love the soft and warm evening light in the spring – there is a certain serenity to it. I always try to push myself to do something new and different, just to keep my photography going and improving my style. This is the result as you can see in the first photo – taken with a 400mm f/2.8 lens handheld with 1/3 second as exposure and moving the big gun around painting circles in the air…I think it is much more interesting than the second photo, though it also being quite graphical in its appearance. Always improve your style and do something different from the big mass – that is my recipe to keep myself going with photography…Enjoy the spring everybody!
