Dry days are a bit like currency – have to spend them judiciously.\u00a0 Five or six weeks later\u00a0I\u00a0returned to the marsh on a dry day and found\u00a0the green grasses covered the land, as expected.

So each of these three instances is a combination of multiple exposures, simply to control the dynamic range of light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
