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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Alpacas … we have a farm just a few kilometres from us, but we haven’t been able to see the alpacas up close. When we were travelling in Prince Edward Island, we stopped at an Alpaca farm – Green Gable Alpacas . Her website provides a lot of information about alpacas and their fiber. Janet, the […]
When we were in the Atlantic provinces recently, I enjoyed taking photos of scenery. It was great seeing and enjoying God’s handiwork. My computer is full of these pictures and I am enjoying going through them. I also enjoyed taking photographs of smaller details in flowers, rose hips, and apples. As I was going through my photos […]
Sunflowers … bright and cheery. I really enjoy seeing a field of sunflowers. The following pictures were not taken in a field, but in the gardens at the Glass Bottle Houses at Cap Egmont in Prince Edward Island. I was fascinated with many of the flowers there and especially with the sunflowers. They not only […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec in August, we took a boat ride to Bonaventure Island and walked across the island to where the gannets nest. I could have spent all day there, but was glad to be there for the short time we managed. It’s really something to see so many birds in one […]
