<\/p>\n

There are only two things to do with a rainy Saturday in Maine: 1) Stay inside and look at sunny pictures taken on other days\u2026the antidote<\/em> method, or 2) Go outside and find some good rainy images\u2026the embrace the day<\/em> method. Last Saturday I chose embracure. (It remains to see what I will choose today :), but posting this image puts me already on the path to an embrace.) <\/p>\n

This is a watery marsh\/meadow that I have imaged many times over the past few years, just off the Kennebunk Bridle Path. In this shot I really like the swirl of the foreground grasses in their first fall brown and what the light is doing in the trees along the edge\u2026all under that moody sky. Not a high energy shot, but one that I find I can look at for quite a while without running out of content.<\/p>\n

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 22mm equivalent field of view, Backlight\/HDR mode. Nominal exposure f4 @ 1\/800th @ ISO 160 (nominal as the image is an in-camera tone mapped series of images.)<\/p>\n

I applied the Coolpix\u2019s in-camera Quick Retouch before uploading to my laptop, and then final processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness. <\/p>\n
