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

    Timbre Wolf resting.

  • Toronto Zoo

    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 younger one was waving at us.

  • Toronto Zoo

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

  • Jumbo

    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.

  • Under the train

    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.

  • Boat in water
    In Sarnia watching a boat and storm roll in.
  • Blue Water Bridge Sarnia
    The Blue Water Bridge to the states in Sarnia. Storm kept passing through, then returning.

    What had his attention was some other people approaching.
  • Bittern
    This display of the hair piece surprised me. Never saw it for the first hour I watched it hunt.
  • Heron catches fish
    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.

  • Steam Train fire box

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Long exposure needed to get this shot.

  • Another long exposure to capture this shot.

  • Lightning strike

    Power Stroke. Used bulb mode on my camera to grab this shot.

Pictures

I have several lenses to choose from, but try to use my Tilt/Shift, 35mm, 24-70mm L and Fisheye lenses the most for my landscape shots.
