December 14 - Jefferson Avenue Footbridge
The weather started to get pretty bitter by the time this field trip was over, but here are a few pictures from the footbridge.
February 24 - Around Springfield
It was windy and rainy today, which as you might guess is not so good for photography. But even knowing the conditions, I wanted to get out and around for a little while. Fortunately, the rain let up here and there and let me take a few pictures.
The first stop was the Commercial Street Footbridge. I've returned to this spot numerous times and am always pleased with the results. It's a nice spot where you can see a large area of sky, and the structure of the bridge is always interesting and inviting.
Next, I drove up to Fellows Lake - just north of Springfield. Fellows Lake has always been difficult for me because they do not allow access to the lake before or after dark. But with nice clouds it doesn't matter too much. In this first image I kept getting rain on my lens and would have to stop and clean it off between shots.
This is from the east end of the lake as the clouds started to break up.
Before I left, I took some pictures looking east after the sun started peaking through. Just as I began snapping away a woman and her dog walked through my frame. The dog is the blurry spot above my shadow on the left hand side and the woman is in yellow in the upper left. I thought it was kind of interesting.

There was a warm South breeze last night, and I headed over to the Commercial Street Bridge to see if I could catch some of the sun as it was setting. I just missed the sun, but I found a few other compositions that were interesting.
May 1 - Dogwoods and Commercial Street Bridge
It's been raining nicely the last few days (weeks?) and after one of the rains on Saturday, I wandered over to the Commercial Street pedestrian bridge - a familiar photo opportunity. The sky was very nice, and with everything wet it sure made things interesting.
On Monday, after another rain, I stepped out in front of my apartment and took a few pictures of the rain-covered dogwood. Everything's pretty green again, thankfully!

September 11 - Springfield
Normally, I avoid taking pictures in the middle of the day, but I thought I'd give it a try this afternoon. I was after an effect I'd seen in a recently purchased book where the photographer used a diffusion filter that kind of bled the hilights and shadows. I don't have one of those filters and thought I could do something similar in PhotoShop. I think I came fairly close.
These pictures are from the pedestrian bridge just North of Commercial (a site familiar to all, I'm sure!)
