-10 during this flight over Skaneateles Lake. A beautiful morning so I got low to the ice to get some unique perspectives. Happy Sunday!
With February's snow and subzero temperatures now a fading memory, milder conditions across the UK over the past week brought that rare and wonderful combination of low wind speeds and slack tides. I was out at blue hour on several mornings to capture the scene near the Queen's Walk, where the flow of the Thames came to a standstill and created near-perfect reflections of the HMS Belfast, the riverside promenade and Tower Bridge in the distance.
This image was a combination of nine bracketed exposures, blended with luminosity masks in Photoshop and with Nik plugins to adjust the contrast and detail. The main challenge when shooting was whether to trade clarity in the water for clarity in the highlights, because extending the shutter speed and ensuring a smoother reflection also increased the size of the starbursts inside the riverside lamps, which had the potential to become a distraction. By increasing the ISO and narrowing the aperture I struck a reasonable balance, and I was then able to apply my darker exposures to the highlights to restore detail in the lamps. After this, I targeted my brighter exposures to the midtones and applied a radial gradient mask to the underside of the Belfast in order to bring out some of its metallic detail, as well as to emphasise the boat's prominence so that viewers' eyes would hopefully be guided to this part of the image first.
The colour-grading phase was a mixture of Colour Balance, Selective Colour and Gradient Map adjustments to create a colder finish and to convey the blue-hour ambience. Setting Nik's Silver Efex Pro to Luminosity and increasing the Soft Contrast and Amplify Whites sliders, I made the light inside the bridge and along the boat's upper deck slightly more dynamic. Finally, inside Colour Efex Pro, I used a sparing amount of the Glamour Glow filter in order to soften the shadows.
This last adjustment was important to me as I felt that a sense of dreaminess, particularly in the reflection, was key to conveying the sense of peace and tranquillity along the Thames that morning. Despite the imposing presence of a World War II-era cruiser in the foreground, the peaceful mood along the river at the quietest time of day was made all the more impactful by the calm conditions, creating a scene that doesn't come along all that often.

I hated that you couldn't stick magnets to a SubZero fridge, and then I figured out that tape worked.

Some might wonder why there are 2 different pics of only certain characters? lol That is because I spent quite a bit more time on my SubZero and Scorpion looks and edits and that I liked the way they looked without the banners as well, the ones with the banners are more to add the authenticity of what I am trying to present. :)

It has just been to cold for anyone to venture out. Tomorrow we are going to experience a heat wave. We are going to get above ten degrees F.
After cruising in the balmy Caribbean for 10 days, Clark and I come home to frigid sub zero temps in Ohio - but at least the sunrise was beautiful!

Quarried monolith at Alport Heights shot during the one snowy day in January.
Temperatures for the coming weekend are expected to be unseasonably around 17°c ... so evidently there is some of that there global warming happening.
It was a frosty subzero morning. I couldn't feel my toes as I trudged through the snow. The whole world glistened with the allure of millions of diamonds. On every tree, every blade of grass, and the surface of the snow.
The Animas River begins it's journey at the tops of the beautiful San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado. Unfortunately, it became breaking news recently when the EPA accidentally released millions of gallons of toxic mine waste out of the GoldKing Mine near the town of Silverton, CO. Videos and pictures circulated the news and web for many months showing the orange stained water flowing through several states, eventually entering Lake Powell hundreds of miles downstream.
This is a river that I play in or at least have the great fortune to witness most everyday with it being several hundred yards from my doorstep. Today, the news crews are gone but the ugly orange sediment still lingers at the bottom and edges of Animas especially where the river flows slowly. The experts are hoping that the spring run-off will wash away and further dilute this sediment. Nature does have a wonderful way of cleansing itself and hopefully this process will happen sooner rather than later.
I have tried to ease the pain via photography by trying to bring out the true colors of this beautiful riparian ecosystem. My hope is that the natural colors I have captured will help overpower the orange-stained banks. If nothing else, it makes me feel a lot better about this special river and begins the healing process...
This picture was taken on a subzero morning hike along it's banks. It was refreshingly beautiful with the steam coming off the nearly frozen river channel with a heavy frost clinging to anything within it's grasp.
