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.

    Brookgreen Garden

    As a photographer, can there be anything better than a place with decades old live oaks, various works of art laid out among a garden with water fountains, an old rice patty tidal creek, an aviary and a few Christmas decorations thrown in? Plus, seeing, and photographing, everything also led to something along the lines…

    There’s been a whole lot of talk about a blogging “Code of Conduct” lately, in response to some rather vicious attacks against a handful of bloggers.

    So much for being the dedicated photographer. Last night, I had plans to meet up with a friend, and take in some of the bands at the Dublin Irish Festival. I brought the camera, but when we ran into some other friends and started chatting, listening to some great music, etc. I made the decision…
