Stopping Time
Monorail Monday
Future World, Epcot, Walt Disney World
Every image is really about stopping time but some images show it more than others. This image especially conveys that stoppage due to the reverse waterfall and the frozen in time look. Normally I like my waterfalls looking smooth but this was captured before I had filters for my Olympus lenses.

Sunset Blues
Delta Lake State Park
Today’s image is from the end of my photography adventure on Saturday. I was able to get out and capture both the sunrise and the sunset, with this sunset being at my old stand-by Delta Lake State Park. The water level in the reservoir is always low during the winter so I was able to walk out quite a ways toward this familiar point to capture the sunset light reflected in the layer of ice.
Currents
Lock 20, Barge Canal
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post my adventure for a sunrise began at Lock 20 on the Barge Canal. The morning light combined with the clouds was creating some beautiful colors. On the downstream side of the lock the canal was no longer frozen although there were ice floaties… yes, that is a technical term. LOL
Due to the ice layer further down the canal an upper level current was swirling the floating ice pieces. My trick was to get the right amount of time on the exposure to show this current (like a star trail in a night sky photograph) without blowing the highlights near the horizon. The moments just prior to sunrise and the cloud cover allowed a 15 second exposure. As you can see in the bottom of the image, there is a very cool dynamic with the current.
