Colours in nature

Colour is all around us all the time, however we often just don't see it. After it rains, the green of the grass and the trees is so much brighter and vibrant, making it 'pop' just that little bit more without having to do it in post processing. In the bush it was no different. We were there just after the rain, the sun was struggling to get through the clouds and all around us were bright bright colours.

The fern frond was just uncurling and with the light hitting it as it did it almost glowed against the surrounding drab bush, making for a simple image showing a world of promise of things to come.




This last shot appealed to me because it shows several layers in the depth of field - something that confuses me from time to time - I think I have it mastered now.
