Swamp explosion!




Do you ever take a shot simply because you can already see how it'll look after you've had a bit of fun with it.. just for the heck of it ? Even as I was taking this one, that's the original below, I could see a bit of zoom here, a bit of saturation there, not to mention a tiny smidgen of HDR all over and WHAM.. explosion! Not that I'm a fan of explosions but you know what I mean :) I'll tell you where I was and show you a few more shots tomorrow, amazing spot so close to the city. Have a good Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  2. Oh, you are SO clever and I love this!! I didn't even start using anything but a disposable camera when I began blogging and I still have a LOT to learn, but I do have fun and I'm not sure what I did back in "those old" days when I only used a disposable camera when I was on vacation!!! Now I think I even sleep with my camera these days!! Thanks so much for sharing these I love them!! Hope your week is going well!!

  15. Fantastic photo! Explosions can work wonders. Sometimes. Thanks for your comment on Ocala where you asked,

    Who can it be
    And I must say
    I don't know for sure
    But I thought it was thee.
