Playing pool

Silent Pool is a spring-fed lake at the foot of the North Downs.

Shot of a bubble reflecting a pool surrounded by a white fence. My kids pointed out that the double reflection of the pool creates the image of an eye in the bubble too, which I like (and of course never would have noticed).

As always, any and all comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, etc. are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Playing around with different focus points and DOF.

Fill flash was also used using a 580EX bounced off ceiling.

This one took quite a bit of processing to achieve, as I didn't follow standard procedure to create it. Normally, you would position the camera in one spot with a tripod and take multiple exposures, insuring you had enough depth of field and shutter speed to capture the action clearly. You then layer the images and "paint in" the motion from each frame. In my case, I was using a telephoto lens and was tracking the subject, so my images were not overlapping. Luckily, Photoshop is powerful enough to help you align layers, and then using some other tools I was able to get the image I wanted. Not the easiest method to obtain this result, but it worked.

Something to warm you on this chilly day.

ABYSS POOL

"Temperature 172°F Dimensions 30x57 feet. Depth 53 feet. Abyss Pool is a colorful and interesting pool in the West Thumb Geyser Basin. Abyss is the deepest pool known in Yellowstone and received its name for its abyss-like depth. The dark green-colored water gives the illusion of a bottomless pool. Vandalism may have changed this pool's temperature. Coins and other debris thrown in have caused the vent to plug. The reduced spring flow also reduced the pool temperature, allowing abundant algae growth along the edge and run-off channels. The extensive microbial mats now support ephydrid flies, spiders and killdeers."
