I’m not a city person. I prefer being out in the country, and enjoying God’s creation there. We were in Belleville, Ontario, last week on a business trip, which meant time in a hotel room and then in a seminar all day. There are many beautiful areas in Belleville, but due to time I didn’t […]
I was asked by a friend to do a picture for her for a Skating Programme. She wanted to have a pair of skates in a bubble, and gave me a model pair of skates about 3 inches high. I was able to take a picture of the skates in the homemade light box that […]
Spring is coming! The ice on the lake is turning to water because of the warmer weather. It has caught some of the people who are ice fishing by surprise. We have had about 10 ice huts on our lake during the winter. Now they almost look like they are floating on a mirror or […]
Spring is coming! We were able to go for an enjoyable walk in the bush this past weekend. There’s still a fair amount of snow in the bush, but we were able to walk on a snowmobile trail without too much difficulty. If you stepped off of the track, you could sink to your knees […]
My husband gave me a bouquet of flowers, which is where these flowers came from … a nice bright spot in the middle of winter. I’m glad he likes to surprise me. I thought I would try taking some pictures of them using a DIY lightbox I made a short time ago. I found the directions for […]
We are in the middle of winter here, so … lots of snow. I haven’t been outside too much to take pictures, but last Saturday we had the chance to go for a walk on the lake, and to visit one of the rivers in our area.Snow isn’t easy to photograph. The snow can end […]
Wow! I finally managed to get a photograph of a water drop colliding with another. It isn’t as fancy as some, but I’m making progress. I’ll keep trying, and see what happens. This is the only one I managed to get. I know that if I purchased one of the kits for doing this, that […]
Hmmm … I’ve been continuing to try to get a picture of two water drops colliding. So, I thought I would show some of my attempts and then I can come back and look at my learning stages later on. When I was working on these, I used tungsten as my white balance, which gives […]
When I was going through some of my water drop pictures, I almost missed seeing this one. The drop looks like the shape of a heart, so I thought it would be good for Valentine’s. I changed the colour of the drop to red so that it would stand out, but otherwise did not change […]
I’ve been trying water drops again. I’d still like to make some with the two drops colliding, but I haven’t managed it yet. Before this, I used a plastic bag and put a hole in the bottom for the drips to drop through. However, my husband has helped me put something new together. I now […]
