This reflection caught my eye while kayaking Lake St Clair outside of Olympia, WA. It was pretty bland in color with everything shades of brown and tan. Converted to B&W, though, it became an Op-Art kind of photo.
Reflection Over-The-Top
Moon Jellies
I have been looking through my library to find photos related to water. I found this one that shows moon jellyfish in Budd Bay in Olympia, Washington. I liked the reflection of my kayak paddle to give some sense of scale to the cloud of jellies. In the summer, the moon jelly population can explode … a result of stagnate water, I believe.
Thin Crescent Moon
These two images were taken a few minutes apart, but have different moods.
Sunset Thoughts
I was going through the photo library and seeing what I had not uploaded to the blog. I found this one of a sunset back in 2018. I don’t remember the sunset … there were so many. I can’t really say how closely this reflects the ‘actual colors’… but there wasn’t any adjustments to vibrance or saturation.
That brings up the endless question of: are the colors that I see the same as the colors you see?
Sunset over Capitol Lake
Capitol Lake is a man-made lake in Olympia, Washington, designed to reflect the state capitol building on the hillside to the left of this image. I used to frequently walk around the lake and watch nature and people. I was always amazed at the number of people that would be walking and totally oblivious to the incredible skies and cloudscapes.
