Gourds

Some gourds also shot at Heartland Woods.

Depth of Field

This shot was taken at Heartland Woods in Niagara Falls. The lined up pumpkins gave me a good subject for playing around with depth of field and this is one of the results.

Correction

A few days ago I mentioned that I was taking an online course and that I would post the results of my assignments here, well it turned out the course was garbage. I won't say who the course was with but just that it did not suit the needs I had hoped it would and I could not get behind the teacher involved.

Train Bridge

A train bridge that I came across on my walk of the neighbourhood.

Toronto Paint Job

I was in Toronto last week for a day so at one point I just took a short walk around the neighbourhood. It was a nice little neighbourhood but what really caught my attention was the graffiti. It may be because I have really only seen large amounts of graffiti a couple of times (it is not very common locally... at least not anything that had any sort of effort behind it) but I really find graffiti interesting so I took a few shots of some that I found nearby. It is nothing outstanding... just interesting to me.

One Last Bounce?

Getting a last bounce out of the trampoline due to some nice weather! She is so much fun to watch and shoot on there.

Days

Some of you may be wondering why I number the days. The whole idea of the blog was to try and post a picture everyday and the numbering was my way of keeping track. Unfortunately due to life that has not been the case but for some reason the numbering is of strange comfort to me as it shows that I am still progressing the number of pictures in this blog.

Recently I started taking an online photo course, which to be honest is a very basic one but truthfully I wanted to refresh some of the basics and more importantly I wanted to try and focus myself (no pun intended) again. So I will also be posting the results of my assignments here as well.

Day 75

My other favorite model. He always looks like he is thinking everything in the world through at that exact moment.

Day 74

Yes you see a lot of this little girl in my shots... why? Cause she is ALWAYS there for me to take pictures of.

While posed shots are amazing and get exactly what you want across, there is nothing like that spontaneous shot of a child. Here she was using a porch as a stage and doing a song and dance. Not a perfect shot but these moments rarely are.

Day 73 Night Clouds

I took this pic in a rush from my front porch as I didn't want to miss the colours. It is not quite as sharp as I would like it to be but I know what mistakes I made and won't do it again. There is something fascinating about clouds.

Day 72

This picture was taken as we took a drive through the middle of nowhere... I just love the look on her face as she lets the wind blow through her hair.

Day 71

More thoughtful camel. I was amazed by how close he/she was letting me get to them. I wanted to keep shooting when it occurred to me that camels can spit... hard. At that point I felt it was a good idea to get me and my equipment a little further away.

Day 70

I have never been a fan of camels... just thought they were not very interesting. However this one really intrigued me. Not really sure what it is but they just look very thoughtful and seem to have some character in their faces.

Day 69

The big cat again in another picture that I really like. Unfortunately I couldn't use a flash to bring his eyes out as it would reflect off of the fence I was shooting through and ruin the picture.

Day 68

I love this pic. I am pretty sure I have said it before in this blog but I really like this leopard. He always seems to be active when I am there.

Day 67... I guess

Alright it has been a long time since I updated this blog... which sucks on my part. So sorry about that... would help if blogger would let me add photos when using my iPad... but anyway.

This is a Bald Eagle located at the Safari Niagara park. He was not overly happy with how close I was getting... but then he saw my daughter and figured it was cool since I had brought lunch too.
