Last week I was experimenting with my 50mm lens again. My Dad had some seashells he and my Mom had collected when they were in Florida, so I thought they would make some good objects to photograph. I decided to try it with a wide aperture setting (f1.4) just so I could see the effects […]
May God bless you in the coming year!
We’ve had a lot more snow so far this winter, and now we have a lot more white-tailed deer coming around our yard to eat the dead flowers and our cedar trees. I don’t mind the dead vegetation being eaten, but it isn’t nice thinking about them eating our cedar already. Usually they don’t start […]
Winter has come: our lake is frozen, and we have some snow. Winter isn’t everyone’s favourite season, but I do like it. It has a beauty of its own. There was frost on the trees across the lake, and I tried taking photos of it. I believe I would need to go over closer to […]
This fall when we were out in the kayaks, we often saw loon feathers floating in the water. I believe these were from the loons (probably the young) molting before migrating. Some mornings you would see quite a few, so I started gathering them up. I was unable to take a photo of them from […]

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers a few weeks ago, and I believe this flower is a Gerbera or African Daisy from the Sunflower family. I decided to try my 50 mm lens and practice using large apertures, such as f1.2. I like how the lens lets you take photos in low light. These […]
Right now our landscape looks a bit barren, so I thought I would put up some more pictures from the fall. When we were at Canisbay in Algonquin Park, we enjoyed being immersed in the colours. I am just getting to look at some of those pictures now.In the morning, the mist was rising above […]
What is most important when we take photos of our families? Do we need to make sure that everything is perfect, and everyone is posed just so? Or do we need to make sure that it is fun for everyone involved. I have memories of being told that we had to stand just so … […]
