Took some images of the now mostly-empty Tempe Town Lake. Might use in future contests (U-Man[b/]'s next week, potentially the one [b]mopsy suggested). It's a stark contrast to what the place has looked like for the last 10 years.
Birds taking advantage of ever-shrinking pools filled with fisheysuah:
Mill Ave Bridge (the original one, built way back in the day)
Always wanted one of these shots of mudflats. Should get better in the next day or two; I'll go back.
One of more than a dozen pylons. This one happened to be standing.
Under the Mill Ave bridge.

| Pretty cool, rav. That top one would almost have fitted last week's B&W theme. |

| Yeah, Leica; if I did some temp corrections they'd have been fine for it. For these I went with 'mud' tones. The two mud flat ones are actually the same temp, but the overcast skies today varied in intensity, and I I did a bit more saturation on the one without the cone. |

I was amazed when the pylon one got 1st place in "That's Just Filthy" aka "Dirty Pictures". |

nice photo and fit the theme perfectly. but as just photos IMO the first one is better/nicer/???
actually it's the color i like better. although for a dried out lake the pylon one is more "dried out" looking.
my sister sent me two variations of a photo and i picked the brown one over the whiter so it's probably just a bias on my part. |

| IIRC, one was at double the ISO of the other, on a cloudy day. Don't recall the exposure, though. That was back in July, and we drinks, ya know, so we fergets. |
