Sprout
I shot these before I saw the pic challenge for the week . I just liked the new shoots in front of the collapsed barn of an empty farmhouse I was charge . I was out on a caprice and did n’t even have the correct lens with me , only a 55 - 200 when I really want my 35 .
This is a rarefied guesswork that I actually did some military post on . NIkon D5200 , 55 - 200 at 55 . In mail service , I separated the honey oil from the background , applied sepia and noise to stress the old and give the greens alone to show the newfangled .

Toronto Spring
outflow , in most of Canada , is more about the final stage of wintertime then it is about the beginning of summertime . After our cold February ever , we here in Toronto are just happy to see that the C is starting to run and that the lakes and river are unfreezing .
This is a shot of Lake Ontario , a bite abstract , that shows the wonderful colors the sun brings out . There ’s an trash - covered wharfage to the left wing which also serves as a outpouring for the storm drain run - off which land greenish water into the lake . On the horizon you could see the refreshing blue water which was recently covered in ice . No signs of shipping yet as the eastern end of the lake is still stock-still .
acquire on my trustworthy iPhone and ‘ shopped to enhance colour and contrast .

Syrup
It ’s my first ( and last ) wintertime in Northern Ontario , Canada , so I was jolly mad when I trip across these maple syrup bucket and tap in the woods near my flat . They ’ve got a pretty short season for this , ~8 week between February and April , and the bucketful was still dry . My finger are bilk for a good harvest home ; I ’d care to try some before I leave .
This photograph was taken with a Sony A6000 using the Sigma 30mm/2.8 and a polarizing filter . It was process in Lightroom for sharpen , converted to black and lily-white using Silver Efex , and split - toned to bring some “ maple ” finger in back in Lightroom .

Where’s Global Warming When You Need It?
Here in NY , the weather did not cooperate to captivate the emerge bloom of Spring . With the bud of my Narcissus pseudonarcissus and tulip under a stratum of freezing rain , ice and snow ( popularly know as “ Wintry admixture ” ) , it was clearly time for Plan “ B. ” Can I refer how much snow we got this Winter in the Northeast , and now it is continue into Spring ? So much for global warming !
Anyhow , this image was captured of the Spring Snow that was happening during the first mean solar day of Spring . I like the means the snowfall balanced on the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree branch . The camera used is a Nokia Lumia 635 smartphone . The ikon was then transferred to GIMP 2.8.14 , and a border was append .
Hence why they call this section Shooting Challenge …

Glorious Sunshine
Spring … I think for me Spring conjures up three very specific concept or images : greenery and efflorescence popping up , the tweet - tweet - tweet of the Erithacus rubecola and glorious sunshine . But of the three I opine I have found it is warming sunshine that I miss the most over wintertime . Here in SW Ohio ( and very much like Chicago , where I lived previously for 5 - years ) Winter is a long battle with grey , overcast , clouded days … which seem to go on for workweek . And in some instances it truly does . I still recall a particular Chicago Winter where we saw not a coup d’oeil of the sunshine for over three - weeks .
As much as I enjoy seeing green return after many calendar month of Charles Grey , brownish and sometimes snow , it ’s really the restoration of sunshine that is most welcome .
A dead reckoning of the sunlight and still bare tree taken with my Canon 40D , 1/2000th of a second , f/16 @ ISO 200 using an EF - S 55 - 250 lens . Washed through Lightroom to tame the spotlight Dominicus and level some of the dividing line .

Submerged
This was accept yesterday on the second daytime of Spring . As there is still several feet of C. P. Snow on the ground and the ground itself , is frozen solid … there wo n’t be anything poke itself up and adding some color to the landscape for quite awhile … depress as that is … The guesswork is of my neighbor fence , and in former Fall , she wire tied Fabric Roses to the Rose Plants so there would be a bright spot to alleviate her way through , what has turned out to be the most life-threatening wintertime on record book … 130 Inches of snow so far . Shot with a Canon 70D and is a 5 shot Panorama , stitched in PS 2014 . ISO 100 , f:7.1 , 500th sec . , stopped down 1/3 . , hand held .

Rebirth
It ’s always a challenge detect an appropriate subject for the Spring challenge in Florida . There ’s no snow to cater a contrast . Most of the plant have even given up acknowledge the change of the seasons — and the ones that still do , did so 6 week ago . That ’s why this picture is a bit of a cheat with one industrial plant develop from the remains of another . canyon 60D — f/5 — 1/400″ — ISO-100 — 70 mm .

Long Days
Story : Pretty frigid in the midwest so could n’t get a guess of any flowers bloom , but this prototype of the sunlight still up at 7:30pm is one of my favorite aspects of spring . The long day tell me salutary weather is coming before long and that 9 o’clock sunset are … on the celestial horizon . Not the greatest picture but it was learn out of the rider window of a car doing 80 so not the most in focal point shoot in the world . canyon T3i with 18 - 55 millimetre lens of the eye , ISO 100 , f/11 , 1/320 .
