Autumn Morning in the Fields
Last week, as the autumn season is beginning to wane here in Ontario, I took a few walks through a nearby wooded area. The woods are bounded by farm fields on a couple of sides, and beyond one field is a housing develpment – and beyond that, Lake Ontario. […]
Exhibition Assistance for 2013
Earlier this year, I got a grant for exhibition assistance from the Ontario Arts Council. Just putting that back out there, since the last announcement of this was retired with the previous version of the Web site.
Dancing Autumn Leaves
In another of my recent woodland walks, I decided to focus on the movements of leaves in the breeze. For these shots, I would mount the camera on the tripod and set the exposure for at least half a second (depending on the strength of the breeze blowing through). […]
A couple more shots from yesterday
I have worked on a couple of new images from yesterday’s walk, using the same technique in post-processing. The results are different than my typical work, but interesting. I’ve put all three into a gallery here for ease of viewing. [social_share/]
Forest Trail 1
Today I took a walk through a nearby forest (the same walk which inspired my last irritated post). Basically, a stroll for a bit of photographic experimentation. Being autumn, there were quite a few brown, dried leaves on the forest floor, but relatively few red maple leaves in this […]
This is why people annoy me
I was on a shoot in a forest today, and I came across a pile of garbage strewn over a section of the forest floor. Somebody had to actually make the effort to haul their junk (including a camp chair, not pictured) out to the forest in order to […]
It’s alive! It’s Alive!
At long last, my new Web site is up and running. Less of a pain than the last site, but a pain nevertheless. [social_share/]
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
Lightroom and moving your catalogue
There comes a time for a photographer when the inevitable happens – you’ve filled up the hard drive with photos, and you need to move your photos to a new hard drive. I just did this, so I thought I’d write about it. Normally, what you would do would […]
Useful non-photographic gear for photographers: knee pads
Previously, I wrote about how the headlamp is a useful piece of non-photographic gear for the outdoor photographer. Of even more importance, in my opinion, are knee pads. When you shoot at low angles, you often need to get down on your knees in order to see through the […]
Useful non-photographic gear for photographers: the headlamp
There are a few pieces of gear that outdoor photographers should have that aren’t actually photographic equipment. One such item is the lowly headlamp. No need to go apey and get a high-end headlamp like this one or (gag on price tag) this one– you aren’t trying to light up the […]
First Resin Experiment Complete
My first experiments with resin have now completely cured. The results are definitely interesting. I started with several 6×9 proofs that I had printed, most of them quite a while ago. The proofs were on different sorts of paper (Epson luster paper, Hahnemuhle ultra smoothe matte paper, Hahnemuhle sugar […]
