Quick Blast

wow, what a difference... in contrast to the post from yesterday, today's pics are bright & colorful! And, I think they weren't timed all that far apart? Oh summer in Western Washington... you are so fickle.

Anyway, these were taken at Deception Pass; an area very familiar to me from my childhood. Today's adventure took place along the beach, just casually strolling & taking pics. What a lovely day.

Old school
I did some minor edits to this classic beach image to give it an old school feel. It reminds me of something of my grandparents' era. I am thankful, too, for a 3-stop neutral density filter, to be able to capture motion on such a bright day!

classic lolo

and this one is just a regular 'ol picture of rock on a beach. Nice & soothing, yes?

Learning
This image shows my attempt to master depth of field in landscape photography. I adore those images with glorious patterns in the foreground; you know the ones I am talking about... like sand dunes in Zambia or Namibia something. Where you feel like you can just jump onto the picture; one where it gains a new dimension and doesn't look so.... so... flat. Anyway, I didn't edit this too much (I don't think I can correct the blown out highlights of the intense evening sun anyway!) so I am just posting my work-in-progress.

Just Pretty

These last few frames aren't anything too spectacular, just nice, pretty images of one of nature's beautiful light display.

Phew! And that wraps up another round of pics! Thank you so much for taking a look & hope that all is well is your neck of the woods ;)
