Photo of the Week 2023-07-31

For this first time I can recall since beginning this blog over a decade ago, I'm presenting images from the same outing in consecutive "Photo of the Week" posts.

 

Of all the images made during a recent visit to Bedford Mill, I selected a few for processing and sharing on my social media streams. Together they make up a nice small series. However I chose to release one per day (missing a day or two) which left me with two remaining as of this writing. For the sake of continuity, I decided to publish both today and conclude this latest series before moving on.

I'm certain I will be back to this picturesque location, perhaps fall might be a good time to drop by and see the colours ...

Photo of the Week 2023-01-30

 

I've been working on an image over the past few days, blending layers from several captures. Quite a few hours have been spent trying to get the best out of what I have to work with. It's a winter night image with lights and required different exposures to pull everything into a single composite. I thought I'd have it ready for this weeks post but that didn't happen and I was looking at other options for an image this week.

There is always something in the image catalogue but then I took the scenic way home from Lombardy to drive through Bedford Mills where research had shown an old mill, pond and cascade. There was a weather warning in effect for significant snowfall and it had arrived overnight, still falling when I left for home. I was pleased when I pulled into the area I had scouted out. The atmosphere provided by blizzard conditions was perfect for what I had imagined.
