From yesterday evening - a very windy day out here in Wellington. Had to lean on the tripod to ensure the camera (and myself) don't topple over.

Any C&C is welcome!

Alexey. I was surprised by how many Wellingtons there are in the world. Which one is yours?

I am impressed with this collection. It seems a bit unusual in that you have included wind-blown foregrounds in shots where someone might expect mere bokeh; so it is good that you explained that.

My favorite is your last shot. It seems the most compelling and interesting -- a little startling after the others. It is obviously a night-shot so it is interesting to see the foreground lit -- and especially the golden colors, but I can't tell if the gray area behind the gold is a bush background or some of your painting that didn't come out right.

The gusts of wind were throwing grass and bush around, making it look like stormy seawater.

Once the light started really fading, I decided to goof around with a Lensbaby.

While hiking home through the dark forest, I figured it would be fun to do some light-painting with the moon in the background.

Thanks for looking!
