Assorted Photos

Winter Sunset at Port Bruce.

Irish Wolfhound. She is small for her breed. Lexi is a very friendly dog. She is well known in our neigbourhood as the happy dog.

Osprey searching for a fish.

This Full Moon photo was taken on Halloween Night, 2020. I used two doublers on my 500mm lens to get a 2000mm zoom. Hard to focus but I needed no crop.

A Port Bruce Seagull.

This is the Old St. Thomas train station.

Port Bruce sunset. September 27th, 2020.

The Cormorant is one ugly bird.

The mighty Sparrow. They are one, tough little bird.

Yellow is actually a good colour for this bird.

The last day of summer before school starts.

I think this is a Grebe.

The annual Kite Festival in St. Thomas. Used my 17mm Tilt/shift lens.

Multiple shots put together to create this

Another Grebe.

Shot with my Sigma 180mm macro lens.

Used a Graduated filter.

Used my fisheye lens. F13, 1/160 at iso 400.

Sunset glow. Used my Canon 24-70L lens.

Just picture all the dogs that have been here. Sigma 15mm Fisheye lens.

This is a photo of the belly of some train cars. Fisheye lens at 1/80, f9, iso 400.

The Tracks down close. Fisheye lens and settings 1/200, f22, iso 800.

The fisheye lens in portrait mode. Starting to like this lens.

A 5 minute walk from my house. There is a paved walking trail past the pond where this Heron has been hanging out at.

Took the photo hand held. This Heron caught and ate quite a few small fish. An American Bittern was there and caught a large frog.

I went back to Ancaster for the falls. This is Sherman Falls. f16, 2sec exposure with my 35mm Sigma A lens.

I used 3 photos of different exposures to get this photo.

Went to Tobermory. Took this photo about 8:00am with my 24-70L Canon lens. Also used a circular Polarizer filter.

This Egret was near the bottom of the Sauble Beach Falls.

This Photo was taken at Sauble Falls. Used my 24-70 F2.8 lens at F20, 1/8 shutter speed.

A different angle of the same falls. Used 24-70 lens at F22, 1sec shutter speed.

The Prince of Wales restaurant in spring. Fisheye lens used. Niagara on the Lake.

Have made two trips to the falls this winter. The ice was quite impressive.

Looking back to the Welcome Centre Building that is right beside the falls.

The Falls still flowing, but the river below the falls frozen over.

Winter trip to the Falls. Cold and wet, but worth the visit.

Winter trip to the Falls. The winter water spray caused me problems keeping my lens dry.

I went to the zoo, the Toronto Zoo. These are some of my photos. It was a very cloudy, grey December day, but fairly warm with no rain or snow.

Timbre Wolf resting.

A bit grumpy looking. I like the Cheetahs. They are true athletes, but are in serious trouble due to their low numbers.

This is a dirty Polar Bear.

This Zebra was set off by the noise of the cheetahs being fed.

Stretching Lion.

Girl Lion.

Awesome Lion. King of Narnia.

They look like medium sized dogs. How bad can they be?

This younger one was waving at us.

The Panda exhibit was not too busy. The Panda was outside, but behind glass.

The sun sets and I thought this scene with the old Train Station was quite dramatic. Not sure if this is exactly where Jumbo was killed, but Jumbo died in St. Thomas when hit by a train.

Went back a couple weeks later with my 12-24 super wide sigma lens. I like the same shot I did with my 35mm A sigma lens so I did a similar shot. Possibly this one is better but there was no sunset.

A panorama of the falls at St. Mary’s. This small town has quit a lot of scenery and waterfowl.

Went for a walk in the woods and took this shot from the perspective of the squirrels that were all over the place.

Just liked this shot for no real reason. Under the train there is not a lot of room to clear. The black and white effect makes it look older.

In Sarnia watching a boat and storm roll in.

The Blue Water Bridge to the states in Sarnia. Storm kept passing through, then returning.

The Blue Water Bridge to the States in Sarnia. Storm kept passing through, then returning. Took this photo during a very brief pause in the torrential rainfall.

This is a night scene at Port Stanley

People enjoying the last days of summer.

Thought this Mushroom had a cool quiet look to it.

Used my fisheye lens for this photo.

What had his attention was some other people approaching.

This display of the hair piece surprised me. Never saw it for the first hour I watched it hunt.

This Heron stood there for quite a long time. Drove by it twice without my camera. 2 hours later I came back, and the Heron was still there. The fish has a look of surprise on it’s face.a

Another arty shot.

This is the inside of the steam train 5700. We are looking at the controls for the boiler. This photo was taken with my Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 lens, handheld at 1/200 sec; f/4.5; ISO 1250 with flash. This was taken at 12mm. A very wide and useful lens.

Baltimore Oriole at Rondeau Provincial park.

Port Stanley early April, 2014. The ice in the harbour just gone for less than a week. Liked the refections in the water.

The trout and salmon have started to jump. I do not fish, nor do I know fish, but this is so fascinating to see. I will go back this weekend if the weather is good.

A Cat Bird.

Deer playing tag.

This deer stuck it’s tongue out at me.

Toronto Zoo Jellyfish. These things do amaze me. No brains, no bones, no stomachs, and most are deadly.

Just a fish in a large aquarium.

It was very cold the day I took this photo. Testing my new light meter to see if it can help me with air show photography. Photo was taken in Port Dalhousie.

Deer in a graveyard. Exposure difficult on this shot. I always (almost always) shoot in manual mode. Used my iPhone lux meter for setting the exposure. Think I got close, but slightly over exposed. However, shots taken with camera’s built in meter were all too dark.
