Frozen Expedition

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was thinking the other day as I drove past the frozen Scioto River downtown that I should go out and get some photos of it before it got warm enough to not be frozen. It has been more than a week without temps getting much above 20F and today was no exception, but we braved the elements and headed down to North Bank Park to get some photos. Unfortunately, we could only stand to be out taking pics for 15 minutes!

However, I did get a handful of decent shots, and with the dominance of white in all the photos I even got to practice some color enhancement, a new filtered B&W script, and some other tricks using GimpShop! I think they turned out pretty well.

    Since Angela was working a pre-game event on campus today, and had asked me to come and maybe take some photos during the event, and since the event didn’t occur until after the College Game Day show ended, I took advantage of the opportunity to check out the crowd for College Game Day. I got…
