My New Office

Last week it was just a closet. Now it's my new office.

The old train station in Middleton, Nova Scotia (where I grew up) is now maintained as a museum.

Out of the Mist

The fog rolled in with the tide.

I thought the lines made for an interesting composition.

Just a snap shot of the sunset one evening on Prince Edward Island.

Butterfly at the Mance

2009-07-21T09:22:19Z

This is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly outside my partner's parent's house (once the mance for the nearby Catholic church) near Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I followed the butterfly all around the yard and got several photos as it landed in different places. I was thrilled when it landed on this rock. This is an HDR image, assembled from several shots taken at the same location. The Butterfly only stayed put for two of the photos and then it flew off. Trying to keep the camera in the same position, (I did not have a tripod with me) I took about about six more shots, each with different exposure settings. The darkest photo was almost completely dark with detail only in the sky. The brightest photo was almost completely white except for the details in the darkest shadows. I used HD software to merge the six photos into one image. Finally I used a "lens blur" filter on the house in the background.

Balanced Rocks on a Foggy Day

2009-06-01T13:59:45Z

It wasn't foggy when I arrived at the beach and started balancing rocks, but once it started moving in I thought the fog made the rocks look more mysterious as they faded from view. I set up about a dozen stacks, but only ten are visible in this shot. One was out of frame and another was hidden by a stack in the foreground.

Zagreb Clothesline

I don't seem to be able to walk past a clothes line without taking a photo (here's another one). Usually they are serene and nostalgic images. But this one has a darker more foreboding feeling. Trouble is coming. This photo was taken while I was still in Zagreb, in March of 2008.
