Road Ditch Cattails

Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water? (Job 8:11)
This is one of my favorite images of 2026. I noticed these pristine cattails in their lush green summer phase while walking with my wife at a nearby park. I planned to return on another day when the light was right to get the potential picture that I was seeing. We returned a few days later and I made this image with a long telephoto lens from up on a slope looking down on the road. Cattails are a favored subject of mine, but an often elusive one. When found cattails usually do not make for a good picture. Either the leaves are dried and tangled or the cattails are not distributed in a way that makes for a good composition or else they are not found in a presentable location. When I saw this stand I knew there was a picture to be had. The D60 set to Optimize image > Vivid rendered the greens wonderfully, and DXO, as usual, did an excellent job of removing all of the optical flaws and limitations of the camera and lens. Oh, and better still, a nearby resident heard the Gospel.

Cloud And Field, Broom's Bloom Dairy
The D60 Images
Shot this image late one afternoon at Broom's Bloom Dairy with my favorite "ice cream camera" - the Nikon D60. What is an ice cream camera you ask? An ice cream camera is the camera you throw over your shoulder and take along with you when you go out for ice cream. I've gotten a lot of great images over the years at Broom's, as well as a lot of great ice cream. |
