Something a bit different - my first attempt with adding texture to the background.
I was hoping for more interesting light when I showed up at this location - overall the original image is uninteresting - the texture adds a bit more to the overall dynamics of the image.
I know, another image of the same thing.
I live in town now & it an easy walk down to the park in the evening.
Sunsets & sunrises have been unspectacular lately - lack of cloud cover.
I'm not complaining, it has been nothing but clear, sun filled days for the last couple of weeks - not to warm, above freezing during the day & dropping down below freezing at night, great for the production of maple syrup!
A different perspective of the park - same night as the previous shot.
it's not to often I find myself on this side of the river - should start taking a closer look.
I've been in this spot many times before - it changes with every season.
I don't normally do black & white images - I'm all about colour. The mono tone morning yesterday pretty much decided for me how this image was going to turn out. Since the sky was dull & boring, I was forced to look for more foreground than usual to limit the amount of sky shown. I could have not included the sky at all, but to each is own - I thought the little bit helped.
Both of these image were taken in the same field meters apart.
Fresh snow fall overnight prompted me to get out this morning - I was hoping to catch the cloud break-up before noon, the time had to get home - that didn't happen - of course the day cleared up perfectly for a beautiful afternoon when I pulled into the driveway!
