Welcome to my Blog!
Tree and Angry Sky
One of the things I love about photography is the need to creatively adapt to changing conditions. So, I shifted my vision from “golden hour” to “thunder storm” and started to look at how the storm clouds and rain changed the prairie landscape.
Cloud Ring
Black and white allows the eye to appreciate the subtle tones, textures, and shapes of the subject. In this case, the dark, wispy clouds surrounding the ring of spot-lit clouds in the centre of the photograph.
Mountaintop
On the day I took this photograph the weather was not cooperating at all - a rainy BC day. As luck would have it, a break in the cloud cover illuminated the top of this mountain long enough for me to take this photograph.
Eigengrund Cemetery
I’m grateful to people in the community who have worked to preserve monuments like the Eigengrund Cemetery sign to help us remember the communities that came before us.
Cloud-Y
As it happened, there was a whole layer of light and colour that I hadn’t seen in the underexposed slide. Moving the sliders revealed the shape and colour of the light that had been hiding behind the cloud formation.
Winter Field and Sky
Today the overcast sky left the landscape looking flat and drab. So, I looked up and saw the subtle texture and colours in the sky itself.
Two Winter Trees
As I was warming my hands in the truck, I noticed the two trees and the dramatic sky behind them. The low winter sun casts strong shadows, which only added to the scene. Shooting directly into the sun is not something I do often. In this case I did it because it helped to complete the story.
