Image of the week #39

Well at least I am getting closer to being on track, this weeks image is kind of different. I call it a “water color”. This is how it came out of the camera with only some contrast adjustments and a slight crop to get ride of some distracting leaves. The painterly look is completely natural! This is a reflection of a pond at Descanso Gardens, the water was being stirred up by some rapidly moving koi carp, the waves caused by them caused the reflections to blur if I lowered the shutter speed at bit, so a natural abstract. Take with the Fuji X-Pro 1 and 35mm lens. Enjoy.

Well I am really behind this week…sigh, too much going on.  Barbara and I went to watch the shuttle Endeavour arrive in Los Angeles, this was a great event as it was the last time a shuttle would be on the 747 and last time one would be in the air! Since the shuttles are all now retired and now they are all near their final resting places. Endeavour still has a short road trip to the Exhibition Park but for now it is at Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX. We had a good spot as it arrived in L.A. it flew right over us…
