Foggy Morning = Black and White

Ok so maybe the title of this post isn't ALWAYS true, but this foggy morning just screamed black and white to me. Even when I tried to edit it into a colour image in post I still couldn't bring myself to finish it in anything other than B&W. This is the same foggy morning as the last two posts with GuynS portraits and here are the three black and white landscapes that arose from the mist.

Two More Portraits of GuynS at the Cottage

Here are another couple of images of GuynS at the cottage. It is fun having him around when I am there since he is a subject who really doesn't mind me always snapping off pictures of him (well ... maybe he does but he doesn't say anything!). As any animal owner knows, they are there willing, and addicting to take pictures of!

Dog Portraits in the Fog

A few weekends back there was a nice foggy morning at the cottage. Most morning images at the cottage are landscape mornings (Ok this one was too ... but they are coming in a couple of days) but this morning I got a few good images of GuynS. The foggy background on the lake gives the portrait something that they usually don't have. All the other portraits that I have of GuynS have a fairly if not completely plain background (including the two coming up tomorrow!).

Last Two Waterfall Images

Not much else to say except the last two waterfall images are up. On a completely separate note, as some of you may have noticed sometimes I write photography related articles for a website called "Bright Hub". By the end of the day (if not already available) I will be putting a link on the right hand side of the blog here which will take you to my page on Bright Hub where you can see any of the articles I have written.

Waterfalls are Back

Here are two more of the Chalet Waterfall series. Only a couple more left from there after this and then we go back in time again.

In the mean time, a couple more articles of mine are published up on Bright Hub. Learn how to install photoshop filters and learn how to merge to images in photoshop! This week I'm working on a few articles regarding shutter speed. Stay tuned.

Waterfalls in the Fall

Good day everyone once again. Despite a couple day break here I am back with one of the most recent sets (yet still a few weeks old) of pictures from the last time I was up at the chalet. While going for a run that morning I saw these falls from the road and said that I had to get back up there that day to get some shots. Long story short, these three, and 4 more to come in a bit, were the results.

Nightscapes of the Chalet

As promised here are the remaining nightscapes that I have from a few weeks ago at the chalet. I really need th bring/make something (barn door tracker, etc) to get a longer exposure on the milky way. I figure that option is more likely right now than getting a camera with higher ISO levels or buying faster glass! The first image below is the "standard" starscape over the lake shot. I enjoy the second image since it takes you a second to realize there is something funny going on with the "smudge" on the eight hand side. It is not in fact another smeared cloud like the one on the right but the "smudging" of the milky way from the long exposure. Finally, the third image is similar to one ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/scerakor/3789100448) taken approximately one year ago. This one instead has more emphasis on foreground elements.
