In the wind
Talking about photographing within the vicinity of your house, this one was taken on my deck. It was one of those “this weather is gonna bring the winter” days in Iowa. It was extremely windy, but sunny. The sun was reflecting the light off the surface of the leaves moving in the wind, creating an abstract of color. I was sitting and admiring it for a while, befre I decided it is too good to pass and grabbed the camera. I tried different shutter speeds, to get enough blur to show how windy it was, but to have some shape of the tree and branches in focus.
