    Title or Location: Lanark County, Ontario
    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.

    We had been scoping this Cemetary out by our house for weeks on end. Looking at it everyday if possible until the time was right to go and get pictures. Then when we did go we hit every square inch of it and got over 638 photos. I have lived by this Cemetary for many years and I really appreciate the beauty in the architecture surrounding the grave stones. It?s a beautiful place even if it is filled with the dead. Death is nothing to be afraid of.
