I think it's supposed to look like a spell concoction. *If you look

That's cool, I've never been there, what's the draw?

I just went back yesterday for lunch and took a few more shots he

Boating related, there's usually a bunch of people fishing on the
river around that bridge. Just not in January.

Oh, and I know I need to get a grad ND filter to keep the sky from
getting blown out. Or I coulda stopped being lazy and got the tripod
out of the car, took 2 shots and exposed one for the sky and one for
the foreground and combined them to make a single properly exposed
shot. Maybe next time.

Very many in this batch appeared to be out of focus. For pictures like
these, if I have a choice, I'd wait for a sunny day.

I know the closeups of the birds in flight do, probably because I had
the shutter speed too slow to freeze them perfectly and because they
are crops of a small portion of the original picture. Other than
that, I don't see it. Maybe it's my eyes. Which ones look out of
focus to you?

The one of the train pulling away is intentionally blurred to show
motion of the train. If you look at the reflection of the buildings
in the windows they are in focus. Also, there's one on the bridge
where the vehicles are intentionally blurred but the bridge is sharp.
