Monday’s Spectrum Exploration

Another image from a recent walk through Gillette Castle State Park, emphasizing the interplay of water, foliage, and sky.

For this week’s installment, I’m going back to last weekend’s walk through Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam, Connecticut. In the previous post of Monday’s Spectrum Exploration I used some of the juxtaposition between water, foliage and sky to create some visual interplay. I’m using some similar stylings, but to a different effect for this week’s treatment.

Here’s another image from that saunter through the woods…

A River Awakens

In this approach, the processing of the water is bringing it to an almost natural set of colors, contrasted with the pink hues of the foliage. This enables the viewer to be drawn into the commonplace while still being aware of something a bit out of the ordinary.

Monday’s Spectrum Exploration

This past weekend, despite a gloomy weather forecast, I explored infrared photography at Gillette Castle State Park. Join in for some of the mystery that is unveiled.

This past weekend provided some more great opportunities to further my understanding of infrared photography. Despite a not so promising weather forecast, Saturday had a break from the overcast skies. Luckily, I had cameras with me and found some rather interesting views.

Here’s one of the images captured…

Ethereal Foliage

Walking along the paths of Gillette Castle State Park provides a plethora of great vistas that include the Connecticut river. In this image, the river is in the background and the light playing off the water is giving a sense of mystery floating along the river.

A bit of post-processing made for a rather pleasing result.

Sunday Serenity

A short exploration of\ Gillette Castle State Park in Connecticut, highlighting its scenic beauty and benches that offer respite for weary wanderers.

A late post for this Sunday, so I thought it might be nice to bring back a moment of peaceful contemplation. Yesterday, I ran an errand to pick up our knee scooter, as another friend could use it. As a side benefit, I enjoyed a nice lunch and some quality photography time.

This was one of the moments…

Resting Spot

We traversed the paths of Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam, CT. This is a wonderful area to explore adjacent to the mighty Connecticut river. Along the paths there are some lovely benches, as they might be steep and wanderers, such as myself, can benefit from a moment of recuperation!
