Belmont Lake State Park, afternoon walk. |
One of favorite places, where Agnieszka and I like to go for a walk is Belmont Lake State Park. It is a complex of few lakes connected by streams, and surrounded by forest. Yesterday we went there to relax and get rid it of daily stresses and problems. As usually I brought with me my D40 equipped with SB400, but also I had my new reinforcements: sets of two reduction and polarizing filter. Reductions are made by B+R and changing thread size from 52mm(Nikon standard size) to 67mm, and another one from 67mm to 77mm. Polarizing filter is made by Hoya and have 77mm thread. During a walk around lake we had a chance to use some equipment by the path. We had a lot of fun jumping over pools. After that I decided to try technique used to make impress pictures of running water. Receipt is simple: "put your camera on tripod, set up shutter speed at 1/3rd of a second, and shoot away". I like flashes, so I add a little bit of myself to that formula: my flash!!. You can see effect below. Then I wanted to try my new toy, filter. What happen you can see on pictures. Personally I really like mirrors effect on water. That happened couple of minutes after sun set, and balance between sky and water was good enough for pictures. At the end I just did a couple of pictures of my Wife Agnieszka and Moon :) |
