Blue

A deep blue winter sky and a low sun cast blue shadows across the snow. I made a pass through Photoshop with this to correct the white balance but didn't care for the results, so except for resizing, this is SOOC.

Don't feel blue...it's a great day!

Before visiting Galena, we took a drive down the Great River Road Highway (IL Route 84), and crossed this cool, blue bridge into Iowa. There wasn't much on the other side, so we turned around and came back.

Blue

Nothing quite like that Colorado blue sky.

Feeling blue...

This is a shot from last summer, high atop Chiquita Peak in the Mummy Range Wilderness area of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was cold and windy up here, but that glorious blue sky stretched for miles. I took a shot of this unknown hiker from the protection of a stone shelter.

Shutter: 1/640, ISO 64 (on my Olympus, I can go this low), f/8, focal length about 18mm

Not quite glacial ice . . .

. . . but being behind the frozen falls in LaSalle Canyon in Starved Rock State Park still wraps me in a soft blue light. I did no processing to this photo. Pulled the EXIF data because I was interested in how I managed to capture the blues that I saw with the naked eye. This was shot handheld on my Olympus 570UZ, f/2.8, shutter speed 1/30, ISO 125, focal length, 7.0mm.
