Title: Grab the opportunity
Post by: Jonathan Cross on April 19, 2026, 11:53:01 am

During breakfast this morning we noticed a pampas frond at an angle in our front garden. It was lit by the sun, but the large dark yew bush behind was not.  A quick shot with my Fuji X-E5 and 70-300 lens produced a graphic shot.  All that was required in LR was a little darkening of the blacks and shadows, and tiny bit of sharpening.  30 minutes later the yew bush was also lit and the opportunity gone.  For me it could make a card to give friends after a lovely meal.

I particularly like the filament hanging down. Well seen.
