Headwaters Gathering Collage

Posted: May 21, 2012 in My Photos

I spent the day playing with the photos I took at last weekend’s Headwaters Gathering, wanting to practice a method I’m planning to use at next week’s Arts Camp.  Here’s the result. Click on image for larger view.

One day, much like today, I was leaving early in the morning and noticed that all of the blossoms on the apple tree had fallen during the night and were carpeting an area of the lawn.  As I watched, a fox emerged from the trees.  The following poster is a poem I wrote that grew [...]

Super Moon Pictures

Posted: May 7, 2012 in My Photos

Here are a few shots I’m happy with from the moonlight hike a few days ago.  The thing about moonrise shots is you’ve got to carefully pick your spot in advance.  Once the event arrives, you don’t have much time to move.  I was lucky and was shown a location that worked really well.

Yesterday I did something that I’ve not done in some time.  I had a rough plan to head out to Grey County to look for interesting Fall photography opportunities and to visit their Artist Studio Tour, but actually I had no idea where I was going.  I just kind of headed into the unknown, letting [...]

Although the weather made this a rather unproductive photography trip (but a good wine tasting trip) I did manage to get a few shots on the first evening. Click for larger view.

Heron in the pond

I took a bunch of pictures at the Newmarket Mill Pond yesterday.  Lots of bird shots.  More to follow. Click for larger version.

Last week a few of us went down to photograph some urban sights.  A lot of the places I’d hope to photograph were in the midst of construction, so it wasn’t possible.  Here are a few samples of the shots I got.  Yes, heavily treated by Photoshop. The first one is a shot taken straight [...]

A few pictures from the mountains

Posted: August 2, 2011 in My Photos

When reviewing my pictures I was somewhat surprised to find that almost all of them were of water.  This trip was defined by water (the way that a SouthWest trip is defined by lack of water).  There was lots of rain and although it was hot there was always a stream or swimming hole to [...]

Larkwhistle Garden

Posted: July 11, 2011 in My Photos, Travel

About 25 years ago, on one of my major hikes on the Bruce Trail, I hiked past Larkwhistle Garden.  At the time, m;y major concern was water as it was blazing hot and I’d run out of water.  This part of the trail runs inland from the coast, so there is no natural water source.  [...]
