Clay Gully Origin—11
December 29, 2015
These blog posts will continue to be erratic until I receive a replacement for the external hard drive that holds my photographs—and my Lightroom catalog of them. I can use Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop to work from some of my backups, but compared to Lightroom, it takes longer. . . . The next few posts continue the series of photos of a tributary of Clay Gully, which is a tributary of the Myakka River. The photos show reflections of vegetation surrounding the stream as well as the stream bed. To capture both the reflections, which tend to be the blue of the sky and green of the foliage, and the stream bed, which looks orange beneath the tannic water, it was necessary to turn the polarizing filter to a precise position. Turning the filter too far one way gave me only the stream bed; too far the other way gave me only the reflections. When I last visited this area, the sky was mostly overcast, and I did not catch as many of the blue colors. (See the archives, below, for March 2015.)
