Testing the Water

Posted by Mike on

I have been enjoying the weekend at my Dad’s house. Came out for a visit for my Grandpa’s 97th birthday and to help my Dad with his new camera. He had a 30 year old Pentax with 4 lenses but hasn’t picked it up in years. I found him a used K10d with a 18-55mm lens for next to nothing. I have been showing him how to use a digital camera and we needed to work out how to use the old lenses (which still capture get images!).

After much tutoring and setting everything up we went out today for a nice walk along the lake at the state park. It was great to see him so excited about using a camera again. And to be honest it was great to be out capturing images with someone. Generally I like to go out alone but I know see the advantage of having company.

I have captured this bridge a few times over the past year and a half but I never ventured out at night. There were a few scenes I wanted to explore last night and although not all of them panned out for me, this image of the walkway bridge over the end of the Black River as it enters the barge canal turned out as I had hoped. There is something about reflected lights on water that just fascinates me.
