A grey day that melted into night.


Okay, a few words. Our cameras and the software can do magic these day to sharpen and lighten up soft photos taken in the gloom. I constantly debate with myself about using all this tech to massage the photo into what I’ve been told is the correct exposure. I confess that I did touch up this photo. Just a bit. There is no point in posting something that people can’t see, I chide myself. But I like dark photos where shapes and colours merge together.

Nothing wrong with being a bit gloomy, readers.

May you be gloomy in the best possible way.

Kind Regards.
Tracy.

  1. What a great shot, Tracy.
    Will overseas folk realize what’s poking out of that pouch? 😀

      1. Definitely. Since I have my 27″ iMac set on the highest font (and picture size) available, I see tiny things others wouldn’t notice. On the other hand I have to remember that some bloggers only have a small laptop or smartphone.

  3. I’m calling that top right corner bokeh, and a fine bokeh it is, Tracy. The gloomy pictures are quite wonderful when your eyes adjust and you see what’s there. I have a file folder of ’em! Cue ‘it was a dark and stormy night.’ 😉

    1. It certainly hasn’t been all sunshine here, Anne. We left home for our walk at about 2pm and it felt like 5pm in the afternoon. We seem to have had more than our normal number of grey days this autumn. The occasional blue sky day would be very welcome.
      The kangaroos are normally very alert to visitors. I wonder if they are perturbed by our cameras.

      1. That’s exactly what our spring weather was, overcast and blah. And then all of a sudden we have summer with weather in the 90s (F). Mother Nature is cruel sometimes.

    1. There were quite a few kangaroos carrying joeys. They didn’t seem keen to move on but were alert to our presence. It wasn’t until the last moment that they moved away. Perhaps if they had younger joeys on board they might have acted differently.

  11. I don’t think it’s a gloomy image at all. That band of grass across the bottom helps to ground mama and baby; it makes me think of all the creatures who begin to ease into the night for sleep and safety.

    1. Thank you.
      Kangaroos are most active at dusk and dawn. They feed for hours after dusk and are often on the move during the night. I’m not sure whether they modify their behaviour during our cold Canberra winters. I guess that is why is much easier to get nice photos when the sun is setting. 🙂
