Previous night's freezing rain gave the snow a cool textured sheen, allowing this Oak to be shot with a very quick glimpse of the sun.

Warm Summer day on the boardwalk catching sunbeams and playing with damsel flies.

Bright Winter day casting a perfect shadow of this baby Sumac tree on the snow.

Warm Spring day just chilling out in the snow bank and getting clean.

Watching this formation appear right before my eyes was too much to resist. The sun dropped a few degrees and then this one bunch of clouds broke up,

Spring thaw with the water dripping through the limestone cliffs is always a wonderful creation.

Dark and gloomy...but the textures and forms of Cedar trees lend themselves nicely to creepy and mysterious thoughts.

Still life of antique barn.

That one lone cloud mixed with the conning trails lends an otherwise blank sky some nice perspective and interest.

Nice blanket of fog covering old farmland. Less is more when trying to shoot with only 20 feet of visibility.

Caught this little guy feeding on the first pollen of the new year.

Dead Ash tree is completely suffocated by wild grape vines. The foggy morning helped to add a mysterious quality to the shot.

Fine example of some antique farm equipment. The rusty forms and shadows set up nicely for a still life.

Colour, form, texture, contrast and composition. Hope I got a few of them right with this nice Fall capture.

Golden Retriever sitting quietly watching the stream and the squirrels.

These metal parts were just lying around an old abandoned cabin. After the snowfall, they transformed into this cool wreckage.

Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken at Riverfront Park on the Ottawa River.

Time

Time of day was approx. noon on a beautiful summer day.

Lighting

Polarizing filter was used.

Equipment

Nikon D80. 28mm Nikkor wide angle lens

Inspiration

Aesthetically, your horizon line should not cut the photo in half but on certain occasions I think it's appropriate to break some rules.

Editing

The only post processing was getting the horizon line nice and horizontal.

In my camera bag

Nikon D700 plus a Nikon D90 as backup.Nikkor lenses, 28mm, 35mm, 70-210 zoom, 300mm macro zoom. Manfrotto tripod. Lots of filters for different effects, flash, lots of IPA cleaner, food and drink !

Feedback

Form the picture in your head first. Then go about capturing what is in your head onto the camera.
