I was out photographing in the swamps this week at Fisheating Creek. We have have a steady week of rain and the swamps are full of water. I prefer to photograph in soft light to reduce the harsh shadows in these contrasty locations. I made this image after 8 p.m. while it was the raining. The mosquitoes were vicious and attacked every bit a exposed skin. I covered up as much as possible but still fought them the entire time I was photographing. The swamp is a magical place at this time of day. It is quiet and eerie place to wonder around alone. I cherish the time when I am out in nature exploring new a area and seeing the beauty of an unspoiled landscape.
