Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (God with us). (Isaiah 7:14) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the […]
Bluejay Red Breasted Nuthatch White Breasted Nuthatch Black-capped Chickadee A great way to practice your photography is taking pictures of the birds at the birdfeeders. We get quite a few of them in the winter. To make them look as though they aren’t right at the feeder, I put out several different branches to have them […]
… and this is how you walk … Merganzer A drippy duck We have many mallard ducks in our area, and often see them with their small ducklings. I took the top picture several years ago, and was pleasantly surprised to see the duckling looking like it was copying its mother. I realize the duckling is […]
I think I had a gremlin in my computer. I was working on this page, and somehow it disappeared. I wasn’t aware that it uploaded to my blog, so it went out before I was finished. Working with computers can be such a treat sometimes. We have a couple of loons on our lake so […]
For the month of December, I plan to upload some of my favourite bird pictures I’ve taken in previous years. I’ve been going back to see if some of the things I’ve learned about editing can be used for working with the photos. Some of these were taken with the first camera I had, which was […]
I’m having some trouble with my blog, so this may end up getting posted twice.The last set of pictures I thought I’d show this month is of water drops within soap bubbles, and one milk drop within a soap bubble. You would think that a water drop landing on a soap bubble would make the soap bubble break, but […]
Milk drops … wow! What a difference in the look compared to water drops. I moved the light around a bit to get a different look, which is what you see when you compare the first 2 pictures with the third. I especially like the one with the two drops. They look like little pearls to […]
I’ve been enjoying taking the water drop pictures. Each time I set up for taking the photos, the set up gets easier. And the more I do, the more I realize that there is so much more to learn … I’d really like to try getting the two drops crashing together. So far I have not […]
During November, I thought I would show some of my water drop pictures again. I had a chance to do these in October, and had some fun getting pictures of crowns and water drops. I used different backdrops to make the different colours and designs. It takes awhile to catch the pictures of the crowns. Timing is not […]
Across the road from our place is a lake … so we often think of it as our front yard. We are able to do so many things there … boating … tubing … canoing … swimming … campfires … stargazing … walks on the ice … skating … and the list goes on. The view is different each […]
