Sunset Sunday - 97

I find myself quite fascinated with the ice formations on the Great Salt Lake. Because of the high salt content it is hard for it to freeze and yet it does and when it does, it does it with a wide variety of textures and forms.

Every Sunday is Sunset Sunday. It doesn't matter when you took the photo (and sunrises are okay too) so join us every week. If you have a beautiful sunset/sunrise please share it. Post a link in your comment, (click here to learn how) or just tell us it's there and we'll click on your name to find it.
OBTW, if you do post something for Sunset Sunday it would put a big smile on my face if you added a link to this blog. Thanks!

I don't know if you've been to Purgatory, but I have. As a matter of fact we were stopped there, which in this case is along the coast in Rhode Island, when this gentleman started telling us about the unique rock formations and how and when they were formed. After talking to him for a few minutes we found out that he was from around there and now lives in Florida. I asked him if I could take his photo as part of my 100 strangers project and he graciously obliged.

His name is David Mook, and he is a professor of Geology . . . That explains why he new all about Purgatory. Thanks Dr. Mook for the info and the photo.

Today's image is from the same day as the previous water droplet photo. I liked this one because it had a little more color in it and it's easier to tell that the droplets are actually coming off of the branches from one of our peach trees.

The Original Manure Spreader

As you can see these don't get much use any more. They have been replaced by politicians.

Another from Monday's snowy evening captured live and textured with my own texture creation.

Last night was gray skies and snow, today was blue skies and melting snow. The perfect opportunity to get out the macro lens and see what I could capture inside the droplets.

The Olde Cottage

As I have mentioned before, I plan to do quite a bit with textures on my photographs starting this year to give them a more artsy look. It was finally snowing in Utah this afternoon and so I went out to try and get some snow shots. I found this very cool looking little house with a light on in the window and captured it. I then added some texture to try to give it a vintage look with some fading and staining. Hope it worked.

Taken on Friday evening. I really love the texture on the ice in the foreground. This one is not HDR or any special processing.

I've really been enjoying finding, creating and applying textures to photos lately. Much of what I've learned is thanks to other photographers and especially Kim Klassen. I will be spending a lot of time and effort and having a lot of phun with textures for a while.
