I made this image last week while on a short camping trip near where I live. When I am out solely for the purpose of photography I will often times scout out potential locations to photograph in. I camped in a location that was surrounded by swamps and high water from recent heavy rains. After many months of drought in Florida, the rains were a welcome relief. The swamps take on a fresh look and provide a wonderful opportunity to photograph. I made this image after sunset in a steady drizzle of rain. These are the times I like to photograph the most. The light is soft without the harsh shadows caused by the sun and the rain gives a silvery appearance to the vegetation. It usually takes a lot of preparations and energy to access these locations. I have to plan on what I am going to wear to protect against mosquitoes and the limited equipment I will take on my hike into the swamp. I made this image with my Sony A7R11 with a Zeiss 18mm lens. The exposure was 4 sec. @ f11
