It must be said that they are basically missing. You need to look for images of moodiness.The second half of October and November are quite gloomy, gray days. Almost all trees have lost their leaves and uniform colorless landscapes prevail. Only the color of the sky at sunrise and sunset can be beautiful and colorful. It’s difficult to choose something suitable for photographing. Exposure conditions are usually poor. Here are some photos below from my surroundings.
It seems to me that autumn has the most beautiful colors in the last days of September and the first decade of October. True, it depends on the weather. Later, there are few leaves on the trees and the landscape becomes more gray. There are often morning mists at this time and there is an opportunity to take very interesting pictures, especially when the sun’s rays begin to break through the fog. This is often a short moment that should not be missed. It is obvious that a tripod is necessary for such pictures.
We had a long drought throughout the summer until almost the end of September. There was a foggy morning. I set off at 6 am to take some photos in these unusual conditions. The fog was very thick, the light was dim and the photos were almost gray. Later, the sun’s rays began to penetrate and the results were more interesting. However, the expectations of better photos have not been met. Here are some better photos, in my opinion.
It was late afternoon on August 24 - Riga. We went for a walk through the streets of the old city. A lot of people everywhere on the streets. Almost every street has cafes. A very nice atmosphere contributes to us. We see the wealth of the inhabitants of old Riga. We reach the other end over the Daugava River. After a short walk on the waterfront we are back. On the edge of the old town is a beautiful large opera house. What I photographed, I put here.
I have not placed pictures of my new insects quite a long time ago. This time it is the yellow shell (Camptogramma bilineata). Increasingly, I take macro photos using a smartphone. it’s always at hand. They are not always of the best quality, but the insect does not wait. I often come across insects accidentally and I do not have a SLR with me. Below are two pictures of male brown meadow (Maniola jurtina)
