Lake Springfield – February 2024
/It was a warm day in February when we opted to visit the Lake Springfield (Missouri) Boathouse area. The meadow has been mowed….no standing vegetation from last summer that might have included interesting seed pods. There were people in small boats on the water.
The most numerous birds were Canada geese although there was an occasional duck.
I experimented with the Creative Filters mode using art bold, water painting, and grainy black and white. The filters make quite a difference! The art bold is supposed to ‘make subjects look more substantial, like subjects in oil paintings.’ It certainly differentiates the colors in the bark of the sycamore.
A landscape showing the lake with a few geese also looked quite different using the art bold effect.
Overall – a good outing for exercise…and OK for photography too!
