Taking Bath at the River
One more frame left to finish the roll, so I decided to go to the park and walk by the river. On the way back to the car, I pulled out my digital camera and took some photos of these geese couple.
Devil's Gulch
It's a public park in Garretson, South Dakota. I went to the park to take a short hike and to make some photos. It's not far from Sioux Falls.
Back in Colors
The temperature dipped down compared to yesterday. We enjoyed the spring-like weather, even though a bit windy, the day before. But today, we lost about 30 degrees, and it was still windy. The temperature took a rollercoaster ride.
All Day Rain
It rained the entire day and there was no snow on the ground. At least it got warmer. The scenery gets greener which I enjoy.
White Out Condition
I don't think the wintry season is completely over yet but I'm hoping we won't see a white-out condition anymore. Who am I kidding, right? It's South Dakota after all.
The Shallow Rapid
I made some photos with the film camera and took the digital camera to have a similar composition. I still need to finish and develop the roll to compare them.
We Got Mulch
A small amount of mulch, surrounded by the cut-down trees and some live ones. At least they don't end up as trash. Film photography doesn't replace my digital photography. It transforms it. There is much less spray-and-pray.
Footsteps Left Behind
It was time to go; too cold to stay any longer, the light has fleeted. I traded my time with sceneries and left only my footsteps behind. I brought home some photos, both digital and on film.
Authorized Vehicles Only
The parking lot for the park is on the other side of the river. The bridge is optional at this point since the river is frozen solid.
Extremely Cold Sunny Day
I was by myself at the park. Below freezing temperature is one of the reasons. Winter sunset sometimes provides good sceneries.
Playground in Winter
It was about -9 degrees below zero. A good day to take a walk at the park if you were me. I didn't last long.
Early This Year
This photo was from early this year. It felt it was from a while ago, at least for me. I went out with a film camera and swapped to the digital one when it got too dark. I had this composition before, and I think it's good to compare the Christmas lights at the park every year.
