The Unpredictable Weather


On 14 02 2023 at Upper Peirce Reservoir, I encounter another session of unpredictable weather. The overcast sky started to brighten up in the fast distance end. My favourite trees against the brighter sky for a moment. That split of a second allowed me to capture a stunned landscape image of the morning. Not long after I completed the job, I experienced the drizzle weather. That moment was always a challenge that I had to experience when practising landscape photography.

Morning Dews

I love the colour of the leaves. The dews on them appeared outstanding first thing in the morning. Though the morning light was soft, with the application of post-processed technique, sufficient contrast was aptly achieved. I think that is one of the advantages working on digital format in photography. An image that I captured on 15 02 2023 at Upper Peirce Reservoir.

A Spectacular Moment

In capturing a landscape image, the most important factor depends on the existing light. Another striking factor is the pattern and colour of cloud formation. On 04 02 2023 at the Upper Peirce Reservoir, my perception was focused on these two factors. The difference contrast of the warm and cold colour in the sky attracted me at the right moment. I was satisfied with the amazing nature phenomenon. Finally, I decided to include the greenery as the foreground of the image to break the monotonous effect of darker area.
