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 […]
Martens are small and rarely seen in our area. They are members of the weasel family, and are curious, fierce, and lightning-fast. They are solitary animals, and the males have about a 3.5 km range that they guard against other male martens. They easily climb trees, and move very quickly. Although they are cute and […]
We have been going through a time of difficulty since before Christmas. My father, who is 82, had a heart attack and had to have a 3 way bypass. This has kept us very busy, but it has been good to see God working in and through the situation.We walked into my father’s house just […]
Have a wonderful Christmas with your families. I am dealing with a family emergency, and will update my blog when I can.

Many of the photo programs allow adjustments to be made. Part of photographing is learning to do the post processing too.I am learning […]
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to try using a Snoot with a couple of children. A snoot fits over your portable flash, which is what I was using. It also fits over a studio light and lets you control the direction and the radius of the light beam. We had a lot of fun with […]
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 […]
This week I had the chance to work with water drops and milk drops. I still used the plastic bag with the small hole to make the drops. Some of them were into a pan of water while others were into a champagne glass (filled to the top).Working with milk is different, especially for the […]
