…the trees are ready to burst into full bloom

…thanks to Sofia for hosting this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge https://photographias.wordpress.com/2025/04/26/lens-artists-challenge-346-cinematic/
Sofia explains that to capture a cinematic effect the photo may have: camera angles, bold and high-contrast colours, light, locations, just to name a few. The main objective is to take a shot that is part of a story, there’s mood and a sense of location; our image is but a snapshot of a much wider situation.









Not sure if I’ve met the brief but here is my interpretation of ‘cinematic’.

Looking back 10 years ago. It’s rare to see trumpeter and mute swans so close together. The trumpeter are the ones with the yellow tags.

…on the middle of the day
Normally raccoons are nocturnal. When you see them wandering around in the middle of the day it is often an indicator of poor health.

Next to a dumpster I found this trio of chairs. I guess the workers need a comfortable place to rest.
