The snow clouds are beginning to break up in this shot of the high field on saturday. The perfect rows are the stubs of the cotton plants from the summer and fall. There was about 8 inches of snow here.

In spite of being in the water, it is never wet. It does not bother about its surrounding but it blooms and vanishes. It teaches us to perform actions without getting attached to the outcome of the action performed and also not to bother about the external factors that might influence the action.
Photography Zoom Effect: Racking the Lens
This was a fun technique to get the light moving. You really need a smooth zoom mechanism and a few practice exposures to get it just right.
This very handy filter case came with a Contaflex that I acquired long ago. I no longer have the camera, but I kept the case and the filters.
You will notice that there is one missing. That's right; it was like that when I got it. I do have a skylight filter, but that came in its own separate little case. I also have the four Proxar lenses, but those should go in a case of their own. (BTW, I have the whole Proxar set twice, in case anyone is interested).
All of these filters are for black and white film photography. I have to explain this because the digital generation likely will not know.
The yellow and the orange one are very useful. A yellow filter will enhance contrast and an orange filter will make a cloudy sky a lot more interesting. The green one, which I find distinctly less useful, will enhance the detail and nuances in a picture that is full of different greens, such as a forest scene.
But the one filter I am missing is a red or dark red filter. A red filter has a similar effect to an orange filter, but much more so. It will filter out the blue light, so a blue sky will look very dark and the clouds will look very dramatic. You want to use this effect sparingly, like all strong effects should be used sparingly. But if the scene is right, then a red filter will make a world of a difference.
I haven't seen a red or dark red filter on the market so far. I mean: not those that are made by Zeiss Ikon (and they are beautifully made!) for the Contaflex.

Had good fun with a group at Offshoot Camera Club trying out the Adamski effect on a number of photos. It provides some interesting effects.
The Adamski effect was created by Josh Adamski. It uses blur techniques to create the illusion of movement, and you can choose to isolate figures or elements in the photo and leave them un-blurred.
Thanks to Emily Gallagher for leading the group and introducing us to the technique.
Ahhhh, home from work and I'm getting a little post processing and Flickr time...yeah, I feel better now.
The sunrise was pretty high already and washed out my colors. I bumped up the vibrance to get the blue. I might have went overboard but the stress is slowing drifting away....
Hope eveyone has a good weekend...I'll be redoing my garden to the point of being too sore to lift the camera. Anyone is welcomed to help!
Spring effect in Minneapolis. The ground is green, but the trees are still hesitating to wear green:)
