I'm really not an SOOC guy, but this one's straight out of the camera except for a crop. Light like this makes it easy to be an excellent photographer. The specific route I took this afternoon was planned with this view in mind.

Lansing, Michigan's Board of Water and Light's Erickson Power Plant, in Delta Township.

Brightened & sharpened version of this photo . I'm using Aperture as a play-toy, I guess. Perhaps i'll learn something from these experiments.

What I was trying to do, here, was capture the way the snow had drifted into the sidewalk. I didn't fully succeed, as it's hard to manufacture contrast when there's no light and little color. It's been a fairly mild winter around here. There was some unexpected snow in late October, then a long stretch of above-average temperatures. Mid-January brought us the ice storm , then enough snow to turn everything white. February's been fairly seriously cold, with occasional snow. But the total snowfall's only been a few inches. A mild winter.
