About a week ago, we had the opportunity to go to Point Pelee, Ontario, to see some of the bird migration. We had never been there before, and enjoyed the trip to the Leamington area. The weather was great when we were there, and we weren’t bothered by bugs. The birding festival was on and there […]
Last week we went to Minden, Ontario to look at the flooding there. While we were in the area, we went to the Gull River where the rapids are. The water was quite high as you can see in the two pictures below. You can usually walk beside the river and sit on the bench. […]
Lately we’ve had a lot of fog because of the warmer conditions and the cold snow and ice. There are times when it is beautiful to see and other times when the fog makes things dangerous, especially when you are driving or out on a lake on a snowmobile. Our lake has water all over […]
Post-processing is important and is not “cheating”. Film photographers/developers (i.e. Ansel Adams) adjusted light and dark on their photos, and it is much easier for us to do this in digital photography. Many of the photo programs allow adjustments to be made. Part of photographing is learning to do the post processing too.I am learning […]
I think some of the most fascinating aspects of Prince Edward Island are the red soil and the beaches. We were able to see these in many areas. Apparently the soil is red due to the heavy concentration of iron oxides in the rock and soil. It is very striking and draws a lot of people […]
We enjoyed many sunsets when we were on our trip east, and they were all special. These were taken at the Confederation Bridge in Prince Edward Island. We were camped a few kilometres away, and saw that the sunset was going to be a good one, so quickly got into the truck to see what […]
We enjoyed a very colourful fall here in Haliburton County and around us. The colours were vibrant, and it was a challenge to photograph them the way we were seeing them. I still find taking landscape pictures (i.e. scenery) challenging, but rewarding. These were taken over a two week span as we travelled in Haliburton […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec, we camped where we could see Perce Rock. Perce Rock is one of Canada’s seven “natural wonders”. It is probably the result of glaciers. Apparently, Perce Rock stands 85 metres high, 90 meters wide, and is 430 meters long. It takes awhile to go around it in a boat, and when […]
In late August to late September this year, we took a camping trip around the Atlantic provinces. This was an enjoyable experience and it gave us the chance to see more of God’s creation. I had the chance to photograph areas that I’d never photographed before. It was challenging to figure out what pictures to take. […]
During most evenings in the summer, we take the boat for a trip around the lake. I like this time of year. The view is very interesting as the clouds and sunsets are always different. We never know quite how it will look when we head out. It’s a very relaxing time and a great […]
