Chaotic Energy

Hectic time at work combined with a few trips to Binghamton really made for an exhausting week. Happy to have a chance to go up to the West Canada Creek and play with long exposures of the water. Slightly overcast day made for excellent conditions. Hopefully I won’t over do the water posts the next few days… 😉

Fenced Flow

Posted by Mike on

The theme this week is Patterns and/or Repetition. It isn’t something we generally go looking for when out photographing but once you set your mind to it you start to see them everywhere. I stopped at Bellamy Harbor Park yesterday on my way home from work. It was a warmer day than we have been having and the sun was begging me to not go sit on the couch again. I also thought I could work on some pattern recognition.

I managed to capture quite a few nice images that will work for this week’s theme but I wanted to share this one a little ahead of schedule. It was the first click of the camera as I started to explore the park. I liked the striation of color in the background created by the water flowing over the small dam while focusing on the link fence. Just a few tweaks using Lightroom otherwise very minimal processing beyond the crop.

Nature’s Ice Sculpture

I went looking for the bald eagles over by the dam outlet at Delta Lake on Saturday. I had a good walk but was not fortunate enough to spot any eagles. I did manage to get some images of the ice that forms on branches hanging into the river. This stuff always fascinates me.
