A quick trip out to the beach at Pevensey during lunch today. I was hoping for some bigger waves though.
Edited in Lightroom and DxO Filmpack 3.
I spent this Saturday afternoon at the library to work on my novel without any distractions. I took a break from writing for most of December and the beginning of January; so I was quite happy to be able to pick up where I left. I got 3 very productive hours of planning and writing out of this afternoon and couldn't even be bothered by this unsightly view.
I've had this idea for a little while now and thought it would be perfect the HMM button theme. Overall I like the effect, but I ran short on time balancing out the flash versus ambient light - I think this will be something that I will revisit again.
Crater Lake (With Wizard Island), Oregon.
Crater Lake is a caldera lake is in south-central Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years. With a depth of 1,949 feet, the lake is the deepest in the United States. In the world, it ranks tenth for maximum depth and third for mean depth.
The large island in the photo I took above is Wizard Island, formed from a cinder cone that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water.
Three long nights of scanning old pictures and too little sleep with more interruptions than usual (teething, need I say more?) took their toll eventually so I was pretty beat on Sunday. All I wanted to do was lay down and catch up on some sleep and do nothing. But it was also my "day off", so I went out to a café downtown and got a few hours of writing done. Also, I read some 40 pages of "Hold Still", so all in all it was a good day.
Saturday was a slow and unreamarkable day in the best sense. We spent far too much time in our pajamas and eventually went for a walk and grocery shopping in the late afternoon.
I love the extra impact the rain gives to nighttime photography. I would have liked a little more traffic to increase the number of trails, but I was pleased with the starbursts.
