On a recent road trip to capture fall colors, a plane did a low-fly over the scene. Almost forgot that we were close to the airport, but I was ready for the unexpected change.
Took a few steps forward and refocused. Caught the ever-changing beauty of lapping waves.
A closer look at the pebbles with incoming wave lines. Used ‘dream smoothing’ in Gimp to enhance the image.
Beautiful captures of the water waves, especially the last one! I also love the first image. :)

Thank-you, Amy. I’m a beginner at using editing, but some of the effects are so cool. I learned that it all starts with a strong, original composition and an an eye of when to stop. 🙂

It’s quite the technical skill to be able to create one’s vision.

I always try to take photos of airplanes but by the time the camera is in focus, they are gone. Nice capture of the plane and moving water. I downloaded Gimp but haven’t learned how to use it yet. 🙂

Thank-you, Miriam. My daughter has been slowly helping me with Gimp, as I need its assistance. The basics using colors is quite fun. I love the tool of cloning to adjust imperfections in a photo. Still learning. 🙂

I watched the YouTube a little bit, but I like to practice as it goes, not learn a whole bunch of things all at once. I’ll get to it again. 🙂

The water is lovely and meditative, but I have to say that plane made me think instantly of 9/11! (K)

Thank-you, Kerfe. I can see that because of the low fly over the trees.
