A fellow shooter and I decided to escape our homes of 21 degrees C and venture out in to the -15 degrees C. We found a feeder that someone hung up teeming with chickadees. Unfortunately that’s the only bird that would show up.
Needless to say we still got some great shots. Take a look and enjoy. The colour is beautiful since it was a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. The sun had its warm colour coming through the trees.

Tic Toc
Just a shot from things around or on my desk. Some post processing to give it the yellow tint.
Flowers, Macro and Lightroom
Some flowers, a little macro work and a bit of creativity in Lightroom. Voila!

Polar Bear at Toronto Zoo
Just a quick post of a photo I found in the archives this weekend. This is the polar bear at the Toronto Zoo.
High Key Photography
Just a quick post from a day of biking around with my camera. I have always been a big fan of high key photography particularly portraits. Last week I saw an interesting high key photo that re-sparked my interest. Above is the result.
Colour Casting
Hey everyone recently I went on a back country canoe trip with some buddies and of course I could not leave behind my camera. On top of bringing most of my lenses, I also rented a Nikkor 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 wide zoom. Now a while back I never thought of landscape or wide angle photography to be of any interest to me, but upon shooting a family portrait for a friend of my wife’s, I found an interest sparked. So for this trip with clear night skys and beautiful sun rises and sun sets I couldn’t pass up renting one.
Another Hike
Went for another walk today. Didn’t see as much snakes this time but still saw some to take some images. There were a few more flowers in bloom too so I took a few shots of those. Along the walk there were some rock sculptures and of course the area was full of ponds and large water masses.

Natalie again…
I have to hand it to my wife. She is always willing to pose for me when ever I ask. If it wasn’t for her I would never get to practice portraits very often. It is hard to get friends to pose. They like the idea but are afraid their self confidence gets the better of them. So I am quite thankful for my wife for helping me out with my passion.
Sharp Eye
Again while practicing getting really sharp images, my wife poses her eye with my camera just inches away on a tripod and lightboxes a foot away. As you all can see my wife has very beautiful eyes.
XRay Flower
At the begining of 2010 I took a photographic art class at SPAO and one class was learning a bit about Adobe Lightroom and the presets. I took this image of a flower and I applied an XRay effect on it. Since the flower was a pale yellow it turned out well. A lot of contrast is revealed.
