Street Reflection

Another HDR. This time the HDR process helped with detail.

HDR smoothed out the light from front to back. One shot taken alone would not have this perfect range of light. HDR combines multiple shots of the same subject at different stops of light (2 under exposed, 2 over exposed and one just in the middle).

I would like to do more landscapes. I just find it hard find the right place.

While I find landscapes quite interesting I don’t get as much opportunity to try my hand at them as I would wish.

To have a view like this, priceless.
The Water’s Edge

Sometimes it’s the best place to be.
Ruins of a Mill (Two Photographs)

There’s not a lot left of the mill; just nails, stones, bricks and trees that grew up in the rubble along the water’s edge.
The Stream to Nowhere

Up North in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut there is a road to nowhere, so why not a stream to nowhere in the south?
Placid

Placid, another word for calm. Something I think is key to most landscapes.
Bright Skies and Cool Colours

Great blues skies and fall’s coloured leaves and wood – not a bad formula.
Even in the Late Fall

Even in the late fall some colours don’t fade away. Similarly you can get beautiful backgrounds from the faded colours.
The Fall

When it comes to photography the fall provides simply magnificent colour palates. A gift before the deep freeze.
Colour

Post processing of photographs gives many options for obtaining the colours you want. In my case I try to stay true to my memory of the scene.
Another View

To handle scenes like this with big highlights and deep shadows, I use Photoshop HDR. Two shots over exposed, two under exposed and in the middle. White balance and a touch up of the colour is sometimes needed.
A Favourite Place

There are places that are special. This is one. I have not been back there for a long while because of crowds and COVID. Now it’s been hit by a bad storm that meant ruined paths and lost trees. Plans are a foot to make it more accessible and more crowded. I am glad to have captured it when I could.
Strange

This photo looked pretty much like this out of the camera – artsy, painterly. Tried to do something to tone it down but then decided its persistence to revert to the original mood needed to be respected.

Green Grass and a Few Leaves

One of those days I am looking forward to. I can feel them coming.

Flowers can make their own landscape.
Last Call

I realize that not everyone enjoys their time behind the computer screen, but I find some photographs are surprisingly interesting to edit. Working on this one I realized how dark the mood of the picture was and I had some fun with that. The process had the opposite effect on my mood.
Angles

This is the side of a barn. No matter how hard I tried I could not find a level line to work with. So I left it rather than use Photoshop to fix what was not broken.
Crowded

I know behind those reeds is a universe of animals I want to see and photograph. All I need is patience.
