Abstraction along the way

See here are a few shot I took last week on a 2 hour walk about the Creek near where I live. The light wasn't spectacular so I thought I would have some fun with some close shots of various subjects along the way. I did some things with selective focus on my 50 f/1.8 lens but didn't do a great job with the backgrounds (too distracting). I also did some things with patterns and texture of the ice covered water. It is amazing how much information there is in a raw file. I got a lot of color came out of photo's in my post-processing. Hope you enjoy.

A winter Scene

So these are some shots I took about a week ago. I spent about an hour at two local beaches taking a few shots. There was a pretty good mist on the lake from the difference in air/water temperature for about a week. Should have been there about 3 days earlier to get more of the effect but I'm fairly happy with them.

Happy New Years All
