At The Drysdale Tree Farm

Photos have been piling up since my last post and that was September. I haven't posted anything as of late but I'm trying.

This was taken last Saturday at the Drysdale Tree Farm. Had the chance to see some of the guys with their families outside of work. Great Day!

Cape Breton II

Learning to see in monochrome for print making was one of the plans of the trip. It's been quite an experience seeing a scene in color but looking beyond color and see the forms and shapes instead.

Main And Danforth Sunrise

I have been moving further south for sunrise shots and I made it to the Go station at Main St. I find this spot very challenging as the foreground is lighted.

To Cape Breton I

Had a peek of the Maritimes taking Via Rail at Toronto, out at Truro then Acadien Lines to Sydney, NS. Oh man I can live there and eat fish everyday and meat on the weekends. Talk about simplifying your lifestyle to the basics and just photograph the scenery to your heart's content, it'll take at least a lifetime to cover the whole of Cape Breton.




At the water's edge. I had to scramble down 30 ft from the parking area to get to this spot and free climbed my way back. Severe erosion and slippery rocks but it was worthwhile. Now on a good cloudy sunrise at the right time of the year when the sun is visible and in front of my leading line, it would be fantastic!




Part of the game plan of this trip was to get as much background shots for my portait composites and I managed to do that. The fortress was a trove of background scenes and I'm happy with it.




Louisbourg fortress maids in a row.




I think this is a good candidate for Lith printing. I don't know when I'll get to that but I have something to look forward to when I get my hands on "snatch and grab" printing.




All in for Sardines!







Mondrian much?

A McCowan and 401 Sunrise

Took a gamble early today on where I should be at 5:00 in the morning. Lucked out at McCowan and it wasn't far of a travel compared to the west end. I love mornings like this when no one gives a hoot of what's in the horizon till they see a person shooting and then they notice. Had a few yells of good luck from passers by. Geez!

Karina

I was lucky to be part of a group to shoot this gal Friday evening after work. She's great to work with.





My first attempt at compositing. Not the lighting set up I had in mind for the results I'm looking for but it was fun working the post processing. I seriously need a tablet for this.

Urban Sunrise

This is what makes the waking up early, planning the position and lady luck on your side that makes it all worthwile. A beautiful sunrise and I was able to witness it early today. Looking forward to many more..
