I’ve been interested in learning more about color. Especially the impact color can have on my images. I have read a few books on the subject and have definitely kept color on my mind as I look for compositions. I believe I have improved in my use of color but I feel I can still bring it to the next level. Here are a few instances of focused color…

Bellamy Harbor Park Mohawk River Trail Delta Lake State Park
I ended up being a lot more lazy on Saturday than I planned. Simple as that.
On Sunday I reversed what happened on Saturday. I started the morning at Bellamy Harbor Park for the sunrise. The fog had other plans but I adapted and incorporated the conditions into an image. I miss the trees that lined the canal walkway and provided shade for the benches but without them this view is more open.

I doubled down around lunch and went for a walk along the Mohawk River Trail. I split the trail in half by parking at the Chestnut Street lot and explored in both directions. I couldn’t resist the black-eyed susans as soon as I spotted them.

In for a penny, in for a pound. I made it a trifecta by ending the day at Delta Lake State Park. The sunset was going to be interrupted by the clouds on the horizon but I arrived early enough to capture the color before the sun completely hidden. The gulls were enjoying the beach and lake even more than the remaining people. I took a chance at capturing one in flight. I don’t think it turned out too bad…

Ah, the weekend. She has arrived. The past few days have been busy at work. I’m looking forward to exploring (no particular destination) and soaking in a little sun. I suppose that is what drew me to this image. A lil’ sunshine in flower form…
