Stink Bug

We Went Grocery Shopping!

Barred Owl

This is my first owl that I have photographed!

Right in my front yard - it flew up into the trees from the front of my car as I drove in this evening from work. I ended up leaning/propping myself against both tree's & trailers to steady my self & the camera to get the shot. This is also the first time I have shot in RAW format - & I can say I am happy with the results.

Strix varia

Even though this above image isn't as sharp as I would have liked (exp. time:1/10 sec.)- it's probably my favourite out of the series.

Cooper's Falls

Modern Day Ghost Town - Cooper's Falls

This small town caught me completely by surprise. I was on my way to the bi-annual 'Work Weekend' & took a little detour to Lake Dalrymple. The weather was overcast & very brisk, but the lighting was fantastic!

The next image is my favourite of the series -

My Front Yard pt2

Dusk Dances

This was a really cool, multi production show that came to my small town this summer & was held in Head Lake Park. I had such a great time attending the show - infact, so much so, I went back the next evening to continue photographing the event.

Normally skittish, I watched this female for only a short period out my home office window scanvanging for insects.

Stay tuned, I have been playing with HDR (High Dinamic Range) Photography & hope to have some cool images to post soon.
