It should have been just a couple of days of nature guiding, but because of the amount of things to see and the pleasantness of the participants it ended in a full week... full of wildlife, photos and high spirits. I'm talking of the visit paid me by the Marche section of AFNI (Italian Nature Photographers Association) here in Särna at the beginning of June. You can see some memories from the Family Album. Here it is now a selection of pictures they kindly shared with me to be in the Chronicles. Let's start with some landscapes... ...and let's finish with some animals.
Just a few shots from August, little more than a divertissement, with a bit of backing in love to some uncertain shapes... waiting for the autumn colors, some already visible on the mountains.
And to be precise a marsh marigold, shot during a long session in a hide on the shore of Särna lake, when the light of the approaching sunset was combined with the rippling water: as a matter of fact the true subjects of the picture, with the plant that merely acts as filling and contrast element. Classics. A classic, not to say a cliché: an anemone in backlit, a picture a thousands of time already seen. But how to resist temptation of that sun finally warm and low (not a great spring this year, weather wise) which lights the Pasque Flower’s furry coat, and makes it shine as a tiny bonfire in the underwood? And how not to photograph the first anemones I’ve ever found in Särna? (actually, they were shown to me: thanks again Sara). |
