Exposed

Another from the archives....... By the way, have I mentioned that this whole set (as well as some of my fine art work) is available as greeting cards and prints here:

I'm surprised that I hadn't uploaded this shot to Facebook back when I started this set. This has always been one of my favourite and most expressive concepts.

Winter Wonderland

My car was half blocking traffic on a country road when I pulled over to shoot this scene, so i knew I couldn't take too long waiting for the perfect pose out of these horses.

First I trudged through waist deep snow, and fell over into a ditch. Brushed myself off and moved up to the barbed-wire fence that separated me from what I thought was going to be an epic shot. I only had my 18-70mm with me so I wanted to get them to move a little closer, so I tried to bribe them with non-existent hay and carrots. They didn't move and rarely even looked up. Frustrated, I jumped up and down, threw snowballs and shouted obscenities for another 15 minutes before I conceded defeat and slunk back to my car. As I drove away I could hear them laughing..... jerks.

Broken Home

I have known about this place for a while now, but passed by it on a complete fluke the other day. The weather certainly wasn't co-operating with blizzard like conditions and a flat sky - but a quick texture application takes care of that problem.

Up close

I had a different plan for this, but I didn't like the way it turned out. This however, I am pretty happy with considering it's a flower and all.

Fiddling around with the fish-tank for the first time in a long time tonight. I like this, but I do think it needs a pop of colour in there. I may have to revisit this.

This was an "F8 and be there" moment, so technically this photo is pretty weak. But, I've never really given a damn about the "technical merits" of photos, and in this case I think that the technical weaknesses (and granted a little bit of processing) give it an old tyme, painterly look. I had a couple of of other shots where the horse and buggy were sharper, but this was the only frame I took (my first of the scene) with that little head-turn from the horse and the perfect position in the road

These are the more prototypical "old pier" shots from 50-point. As much I like the one I uploaded yesterday that was pretty out-side the box, I have to admit that this angle is used so often because it works.

What Remains

I've been meaning to get to this location for years now. I had a decent sky, but admittedly I was hoping for better given the sky at home when I left. That said, I can't really complain as I'm pretty happy with what I came away with.

The Long Road Home

I took a detour through Mennonite country today. I think it may have been too cold for even the hearty Mennonites as I only managed to find 2 scenes that I thought were worth stopping for. But, I'm happy I stopped for this one.
