If you want to see a variety of butterflies, the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is well worth visiting. When you first walk in, the number of butterflies is almost overwhelming. Most days they have about 2000 butterflies flying around. There are about 45 species, most of them coming from South America, so lots […]
When we were “behind the falls”, we were able to see Niagara Falls through some port holes. It was interesting seeing the ice buildup around the falls, and I was enjoying taking some photos. It wasn’t long until a man came along and asked me if I was taking HDR photos, which means taking 3 […]
Sometimes in late afternoon when the sun is going down, you see a rainbow at Niagara Falls. I had never seen this before, so this was a real highlight for me when we were there. Rainbows happen when the sunlight beams hit raindrops (or mist in this case) and they separate into different colours. The […]
We were in Niagara Falls, Ontario last week and had a great time. We have seen it several times in the summer, but have never seen it in the winter, so it was very interesting. Splendid and majestic is His work. And His righteousness endures forever. Psalms 111:3
We found a turkey feather last summer, and I’ve been meaning to take some photos of it. We’ve had a flock of turkeys in the area, and occasionally see them on our neighbour’s property, the road, and sometimes on our own. One of these days I may be able to get a good photo of […]
I was going to do a different topic today, but when I was looking at my photos, I realized there were still a few of the frozen soap bubbles that I haven’t posted, and would like to do so for my own records. These were done by blowing a bubble through a straw on to […]
We are having some more cold days, so this is giving me the chance to try some frozen soap bubble pictures again. My goal this time was to take them in the air and hopefully catch one bursting. It’s interesting watching the process the bubbles go through as they freeze and burst. The recipe I […]
This has been quite the winter here in West Guilford. It seems we just keep getting more and more snow. We weren’t hit too hard for the ice storm – just enough to make the trees look pretty, but we certainly have lots of snow. Since the snow has come so much heavier this year, […]
I recently saw something on the internet that was interesting – frozen soap bubbles, so I decided to try it myself. I used the regular soap bubble liquid that you can buy in the store, and waited for a cold day. I believe it was below -10 degrees celsius. It wasn’t easy. The soap bubbles […]
Last week I was experimenting with my 50mm lens again. My Dad had some seashells he and my Mom had collected when they were in Florida, so I thought they would make some good objects to photograph. I decided to try it with a wide aperture setting (f1.4) just so I could see the effects […]
