Spring is around the corner

I was able to go for a walk Tuesday before my last job of the day. I was at a Girl Scout Camp in Blue Point called Camp Edey. When I was a Boy Scout, we camped there late September or October and we would fix the trails or tent platforms for the Girl Scouts. We always would go looking for the girls, but we never found them.

The walk did me good, actually it would have been much better to air out my head after the job. The last three days have been great weather, high 60's and sunny, spring is showing signs all around. Spring flowers are breaking through the ground and buds are appearing.

I'm getting that itch for a macro lens again.

This was made with the Canon G10 and processed with ACR.

Winter Wonderland

 

I had a bit of time between jobs today and had to pull over and photograph this winter wonderland. This little stream is in Blue Point near the Patchogue border. Blue Point is a great little place on the south shore of Long Island and just might have one of the best micro breweries on Long Island. Not that I'm an expert on beer, but I do enjoy an ice cold brew every now and then.

This scene was originally recorded in color as an HDR image and then desaturated all the color.

I used the Canon 5d mkII, Photomatix Pro and Photoshop for this photo.
