Cemetery Flare
I took these shots when I was setting up a timelapse sequence and trying to get the exposure right. I ended up with three brackets that I processed together. Shortly after this the sun went behind the cloud and I lost the wonderful light on the Chinese Cemetery, but I also lost the lens flare.
I can’t decide if the flare ruins the photo. I tried different treatments and I think that the Lightroom split tone preset (below) applied to the HDR image (above) allows the lens flare a more comfortable home in the photo. But I do like the camas in the foreground in the colour versions.
Cloud Pool IV
When there is a good sky I am drawn to these pools at the Chinese Cemetery, sometimes they have perfect reflections, and at others like yesterday’s when it is windy, they are more abstract and oily patches of light in the bedrock.
I have previously posted about these pools, last year with Cloud Pool and more recently with Cloud Pool II and III, all of pools a bit closer to the water than this one. This pool is up near the top of the bedrock hill at the east end of the cemetery. I think the strong wind had either blown some of the water out of the pool, or maybe it did not fill yet after a week of sunshine.
Monochrome Ferry
Once again I touch down into the archives of my spring 2012 series on the Friday Harbor Labs. I will be returning for a weekend visit, next week. So this seems like a good time to look at the Washington State Ferry “Chelan”. The MV Chelan serves the route from Sidney BC to Anacortes WA, which winds through the San Juan Islands. Sidney to Friday Harbor is about 90 minutes, not including passing across the border which can add quite a bit of time. Or not, depending on apparently random circumstances.
Iris Leaves II
Last fall I posted about iris leaves which were on their way out. Today’s shots are from the same part of the garden, but of the new leaves. No blossoms yet, but one of the points of having irises in the garden is their foliage.

Light Teaser II
Stills from a timelapse video that I am slowly finding time to put together. These stills are from sequences that will likely appear also with ones shown in Light Teaser a few days ago. These workers were installing a security camera near the top of the light.
