Web Of Sunshine

I was going through quite the dry spell with my photography. I wasn’t feeling very motivated to grab my camera or venture out to see what I could find.

One evening I was at the trailer and decided to head down by a marsh just to see the sun set. I hadn’t taken any sunset photos for almost a year and thought maybe I could motivate myself by taking one of my favourite types of nature shots.

It was a partly cloudy night and the sky was nearly perfect for a nice shot. I noticed this patch of tall weeds and the remains of a spider web and I thought this might make for an interesting shot. I think I was right as I was happy with the end result.

Marsh Storm

This photo is the same as an earlier photo I posted. The only difference is I did some more creative post-processing on the photo.

I think this gives the photo a more vibrant and eye-appealing look…or at least I like it better.

Marsh Thunder

While visiting one of my favourite parks to shoot nature photos, I noticed that while it was quite sunny and warm where I was, I could see a storm in the distance across the marsh.

Stopping my vehicle I grabbed my Nikon and slipped down to the shoreline and composed a few photos not knowing for sure if I would get anything I would deem worth keeping.

In the end I actually ended up with several photos I liked and this was one of them.

Dripping Tap Frozen

I belong to an online Flickr Group that involves challenges of many different varities and provides added incentive to just pick up the camera and shoot when sometimes the will to do so isn’t always there.

One of the recent challenges involved water and I chose to try and stop the water as it dripped from my kitchen tap. I think I managed to succeed in what I’d set out to accomplish and ended up with a fairly good photo in the process.

Jobe’s Lane

I have photographed this lane way leading to Jobe’s Trail at Presqu’ile Provincial Park many times.

This time I decided to try something a little different as I took five shots all at different exposures and combined them into one high dynamic range photo. I didn’t want it to look too crazy so I tried to keep it somewhat subtle during the post-processing.

I think it turned out fairly well
