Fall Serenity

Now this is why I Love The Fall!!!!! Nature's canvas stimulates our senses beyond our lenses and captures your soul.....I can only completely surrender!!!!!Breath in the Beauty !!!!!

Brook's Fall

I've been playing around with a ND filter and slower shutter speeds, trying to perfect my silky water effect....I still see how important a gradient filter plays in such a shot....the upper falls still has too much light....in a matter of just a few days the colors are now gone, especially the reds....I wish they could have lasted a bit longer......

My pretty little Bride

My youngest daughter was married near Algonquin Park on Sat. to her Best Friend....the day was cold and wet but it did not dampen her joy and enthusiasm.... shooting people as opposed to landscapes and wildlife is much more challenging and the need of a good speed light & diffuser was very apparent. I tried to capture the softness of the light from the window and her natural look....

Sunset activities

 

Well I presented a slide show at our photo club this week of a selection of sunset shots I took over the summer....and this one had received the most responses....Enjoy!

A Passion for Fishing

 

This beautiful little girl reminds me of myself as a young child, always down on the dock fishing. I could spend the whole day there and never get bored....I guess if it's in the blood it's there for life!!!!!

In Low Key

 

I Love challenges, and at my neices wedding I tried different settings to see what dramatic results would unfold...this experiemnt with a Low Key setting was a wonderful surprise...one of my favorites from this fun shoot.

A Kiss for a Peanut

 

I've seen many a chipmunk beg and sit on your knee waiting for a free handout....but this little guy, who we call Stubbs, for his short tail, has to be the friendliest little creature ever....There are several families in our trailer park who feed him and has given him several other names....note the little hole in his ear....a confrontation with a nasty Red Squirel.....
