I will return to catch this quaint little bench set in the dunes near Cresswell for a sunrise at some point, was just a scouting mission yesterday
... waiting to be used.
Germany. Hohenheim Gardens. August ... a month with massive infrared light. So i don't hesitate to take "winter" shots in summer. My macro equipment at this day is placed on this bench.
Nikon D40. Lens 18.0-55.0mm f/3.5-5.6. ISO 200. 1/320 sec. f/8. 18mm. Using an infrared filter 720nm. Red/Blue channel swap in post production in order to get the dark blue sky.
If you are interested in an image of the disassembled Nikon D40 for infrared conversion ... here it is --> Nikon D40 Infrared Conversion.
Is anything prettier than the shade of an old Oak Tree... I don't think so.
I missed the concert but I made the hike. And, the hike was muddy but the day was gorgeous, so there's a balance in all that somewhere..;)
The bench is on the right..:)
spring is in the air. As I wander through this beautiful park, in another 12 days it will be jammed packed with visitors from everywhere., So I try to get here b4 that happens, and I was in luck, the weather was perfect (a few Days ago) and just a few families...perfect for photoging:)
HBM!!
The Quarter Shops is another one of those trendy shop here in Wimberley. And, of course, it has a bench..;) Someone said we must like to sit a lot around here because of all the different benches. I've actually, never seen anyone sitting in them. So, I have no explanation for all the benches we have around here. My guess is, at one time people must have thought them pleasing to look at. Maybe, even an art form. Whatever the reason, we do have a bunch of them. Enjoy..:))
Hopefully you can see the bench. I didn't want to crop it anymore than I did. Than I used Topaz for the special effects.
Still in quarantine here in Texas. However, I went to Loews today to pick up some stain and it didn't look like everyone was quarantined. Guess everyone was doing like me and working on a home project. I found this really gorgeous front door at a garage sale for $50 with glass inserts. It just needs some tender loving care..:) Can't wait to finish it
Hope everyone is holding up. I don't want to lose any of you..)
This section of the canal is between Renton's Bridge and Nicholson's Bridge. On the left you can see Ripon Racecourse and to the right the tops of motor boats moored at the Ripon Motor Boat Club.
Ripon Motor Boat Club was established in 1931, having celebrated its 85th anniversary in 2016 the club is now one of the largest inland waterway boat clubs in the country.
The Ripon Canal is located in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by the canal engineer William Jessop to link the city of Ripon with the navigable section of the River Ure at Oxclose Lock, from where boats could reach York and Hull. First used in 1773 and closed in 1956 consising of 3 locks over its 2.3 miles
In 1961, members of the Ripon Motor Boat Club formed the Ripon Canal Company Ltd, and gradually restored the canal up to Littlethorpe. Subsequently, the Ripon Canal Society spearheaded restoration, which was completed in 1996. It is now managed by the Canal & River Trust
