Default Cold water fishing

This is just a few shots I got the other day. This is Silver Springs Nature Area, part of the Southern Kettle Moraine State forest in Wisconsin. It's a spring fed lake that never freezes over. The third shot shows the old spring house that is the source of the cleanest water you'll find anywhere. Hope you enjoy!





Trying to make a boring shot look a little better. Messing around with Nik Filters in Capture NX2.


Another boring shot I was trying to add a little pizazz to.

Nicely captured! The reflections look like they came from a mirror the water is so smooth. TFS.

Amazing series of shots. I love the strong reflection in the second shot. They are far from being boring you have done a great job with them. The composition in all of them is great.

I like the B&W one. The soft focus / blur of everything except the center building gives it a slight painting feel. Very nice

Wow amazing captures Dave. It looks really cold out there. I love the reflection in the second one and the work you did in the third one but all of them are awesome. Thanks for sharing them bud.

Dave.
