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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
When we were at Perce, Quebec, we camped where we could see Perce Rock. Perce Rock is one of Canada’s seven “natural wonders”. It is probably the result of glaciers. Apparently, Perce Rock stands 85 metres high, 90 meters wide, and is 430 meters long. It takes awhile to go around it in a boat, and when […]
In late August to late September this year, we took a camping trip around the Atlantic provinces. This was an enjoyable experience and it gave us the chance to see more of God’s creation. I had the chance to photograph areas that I’d never photographed before. It was challenging to figure out what pictures to take. […]
During most evenings in the summer, we take the boat for a trip around the lake. I like this time of year. The view is very interesting as the clouds and sunsets are always different. We never know quite how it will look when we head out. It’s a very relaxing time and a great […]
A couple of weeks ago, we had the opportunity to be in Niagara Falls, Ontario while I went to a work conference. We’ve been there a few times before and have enjoyed many of the special attractions. We prefer the natural attractions, so spent most of our time walking to the Falls and enjoying their […]
Last week I took some time at the end of my work day to stop at a small roadside park at Furnace Falls, Ontario. The water and rapids are not as high this year but the falls (or rapids) are refreshing to look at and listen to. I didn’t have my tripod with me, but […]
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 […]
