Yes, yes, I know. I’m pushing the concept of a silhouette. But, this is very silhouette like, so I’m throwing it out there today… 🙂
Good eye! This is the same tree and table from an earlier post. I couldn’t resist the sun peeking around the tree, the light on the grass and the highlighted edges of the table. What can I say, the scene screamed click the shutter now!

My walk at Flat Rock Park on Sunday brought me an unexpected surprise. I didn’t anticipate the recent rains would have created enough water flowing down the rocks for a waterfall. I had the 28mm lens on the camera and the tripod was back in the car but by decreasing the aperture to f/16 I was able to get a 1/15th shutter speed. Not quite the silky smooth look I prefer but I’m not going to complain. I spent most of my time in this area exploring all the possibilities. How could I refuse the one with a reflection as well…

It didn’t start off as the best day. Well, I had to go to work for one, but that isn’t what I meant. Weather was iffy. Until the sun works it way back to rising at a proper time being in the dark an extra hour in the morning is not ideal. But, the day turned it around by the time I decided to get off the couch.
It would have been easy to remain on my butt after dinner. I’m glad I didn’t.
As I’m sure you have figured out, I went to Flat Rock Park. Although it was a beautiful evening, the cooler temps, or maybe because it was a Monday, kept most people away. I had the area around the waterfall basically to myself. I explored…
I don’t remember this image happening. I assume it was during a switch from landscape to portrait orientation on the tripod. It was a nice surprise when I loaded the images into Lightroom. This is the first one I processed last night. I’m really liking it and I am thinking I need to create a few more like this…

I moved further upstream then I have explored before and was rewarded with this view. Yes, these are the same set of trees I have been including in most images at the park. They are such camera hogs, practically begging to be photographed.

What trip to the park would be complete without some flowing water. I’ll admit the recent rains helped, but the light on the trees (yes, those trees) is what really jumped out at me. Come on, admit it, you would have captured this view too… right?

I suppose I should get ready for work. I know, I would rather be out with the camera too, but I do like my toys.
The computer has been rebuilt. Still working through application installs and configuration, but it is functioning. Although, going through this process has highlighted the age my computer. Maybe it is related to me scouring the internet for a replacement “in case” I could not revive this bad boy. I have a feeling I eventually will do something crazy…
Work was long, even on a short week, so the call of the sunset brought me to Delta Lake. A few other individuals were on the beach enjoying the show presented by the setting sun. Once again I chose to stay with my 50mm prime lens. I’m loving the images I get with this lens.
