The Shape of Things to Go

Referring to the title, what is it that is going to go? It is the ice that appears these photos. 

We walked in Riverside Park for the first time in awhile because the path is, thankfully, now clear. Hopefully, it will remain that way now that we're into March, but time will tell.

Silly me left his camera at home, so I pulled out my phone. I have more or less decided to eschew phone photography, but any port in a storm. Eh.

Nothing extraordinary here. Just sharing the walk with you and photographing a bit of ice while it still exists.





As you well now, sometimes I like to play with photos, and I thought I'd try that one ↑ in b&w and eventually nudged it into a sepia ↓ vintage look.

  1. Any time you post the tree in the fourth photo, I think of it as the witch tree. It has that look somehow. Great photo!

  2. I think your phone does a fine job, with you operating it, that is. :-)

  3. These are all very good, AC. I honestly can't tell them from the "real" camera photos, but I am no photographer. That tree in #4 is quite something. Its ancient, twisted look beside the sleek modern bench is quite a contrast. I like the ice photos too. We saw very little ice this year.

  5. You may eschew the phone camera, but you certainly took some very good photos with it. You have the eye for what you are doing.

  6. I did not mean to get this far behind. Tsk. I like the sepia, but I also like the blues. If that was your phone, it was a great caputre. Amazing what the phones can do. Not something we ever envisaged while lugging our 'Brownies' around as children. Or even as adults lugging a bag full of lenses and extra film and all of the clutter needed to do a proper job.

  7. It's that time when if you're lucky you get to hear the bell-like sounds of water hitting the underside of the ice. It's like church bells. I've had that experience just once at the local pond when sun and wind and ice combined to create music.

  8. I like the sepia one more than I thought I would. Phone cameras are pretty good these days but I still miss using an actual camera although I don't miss hauling it around.

  9. The sepia is good but I still prefer the colour. ;-)

  10. paisajes que muestran el frio intenso que ha hecho por esos parajes. Me ha encantado el virado a sepia con ese árbol que es una preciosidad.

  15. It's always a good feeling to see the ice go -- like spring is really on the way!

  16. I enjoyed your walk!

  17. Oh my goodness AC, that last one! Breathtaking. Art quality. Frame it! But I am always partial to your leaning tree beside empty bench photos. xoxo

  18. That slab of ice cut in half is really amazing.
    I confess all my photos are taken with my iPhone. I never use my regular camera anymore. I've gotten very lazy.
