Have you ever taken a photo and wondered what other things you could do with it? I experimented with some photos to see if I could use them on some bookmarks. The bookmarks may be used if I go into more family photography.This first photo was taken of two girls sitting in the snow watching […]
Tobogganing can be fun for everyone, and it can be fun to take photos. However, it isn’t always easy to do so. There are several things you have to take into account. You need to have a fast enough shutter speed, and you also need to make sure your aperture is small enough to pick […]
I was putting my 2012 scrapbook together this week (I know – I might be done by summer – I’m almost done), and I saw some of my practice sessions with my snoot. I had some willing models, which was good as they were very patient with me. It obviously takes awhile to learn how […]
Last week we were blessed with seeing several different kinds of wildlife in our yard. First there were raccoons looking for some food. This is the first time we’ve seen them this winter. Then we watched a marten running all over the back yard. It was amazing how fast they can move. I was able […]
When you take a photo of someone, you need to have reflections or catch lights in their eyes to make the photo come to life. This is the part I am concentrating on right now. Last week I managed to take a photo of a young boy who was outside in the snow and was […]
I’ve been practicing taking some photos of children outside in the snow. It can be difficult when it is sunny. This little guy was playing in the snow on the beach, and was using his toys as though he was playing with sand. He enjoyed filling his dump truck with snow. It was a pleasure […]
I haven’t had the same time and freedom to take photos as I’ve been used to, but I have been looking through different tutorials on the internet. I’ve especially been looking at Family Photography and Lifestyle photography compared to “posed” photography. I have a lot to learn in both of these areas.This past weekend I […]
When I was doing water drops last week, I thought I’d try dropping some oil into water. This seemed very different. I had a harder time with my focus, and am not sure when I look at the drop in the picture below whether it is a focus issue, or does the oil “separate” as […]
I had the chance to do some more photography of water drops a couple of days ago. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done any, and I didn’t try to get any drops colliding. However, I played around with some gels for colour. I used a plastic bag again to hold the water, and put […]
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 […]
