Shooting Ducks.

Every so often I go for a walk at lunch time. It's a nice break from work. Just down the road is a duck pond. There are always a couple of ducks there to entertain me.

What To Do With Mid Afternoon Light?

What do you do with mid afternoon light that is just very uninteresting and a bit boring? Why, make an HDR out of it of course!

I took this photo during lunch today. Just to get out and make some photographs.

Drainage DitchIt's a bit boring but I still liked it. It makes sense to me what it is but it's really not all that interesting. So, I exported 3 versions of the image at and exposure of -2, 0 and +2 and created an HDR from that.

Drainage Ditch - HDRMuch better! Interesting color and detail. There we go. Mid day lighting issue solved.

Morris Fighting The Snow.

Morris.My co worker Morris trying to find his work truck under all that snow. Yes, it's really that white out again.

Now this is a bit more creative. I've been giving some thought to what I'd like to photograph but still not sure if I want to pick one style over another. I like people photos but I still like the nature and wildlife stuff.

68.365.4 Mud!!!Friday March 9 2012.

Well look at at that. 12°C today. Everything is melting like crazy now. Finally. The worst part is the mess in the yard. Don't let the poor representation in the photo fool you. Those ruts are 6 to 8 inches deep already. I'm not even sure what color my boots are supposed to be. LOL.

I happened to have a manlift in the yard this morning so I decided an arial view of the yard was in order. I was only 30 feet up. Next time I'll go the full 60 feet.

With such a small amount of snow on the ground, we really don't need this snow fence. So it sits and waits for better winters.

There is nothing quite like being out at the lake. Even in the winter. All one needs to do is dress for it and the fun is the same.
