Tatamagouche '08 - Sunrise and Moonglow

The sunrise was spectacular this year on Saturday morning.  It was cool and crisp but the light was warm and the waning crescent moon was still bright.

Tatamagouche '08 - Starry Night

This year marked my 5th year as part of the leadership team of the Ways of Seeing, Photography for the Artist Within Us event.  As always, it was a great event with a fantastic group of people.

After the Friday night session was finished, picking up from where we left off last year, I set out with my friends Shannon & Lawrence with our cameras to soak in the clear autumn sky.  It was a cool, crisp evening sky filled with stars.  We all made some long exposures of the night sky.

Later we turned the cameras on ourselves and had a little fun with flashlights and shadows.

I have some more images to share from the weekend in the next couple of posts.

A Few More from Cape Enrage

Here are a few more images from the Cape Enrage adventure I went on with my buddy Rob a couple weeks back.










I have some images and thoughts from the Ways of Seeing event held recently in Tatamagouche coming in a future post(s)

Recent Work

I am off to Tatamagouche this morning for the weekend.  I'm sure I will have lots to post next week.
In the meantime here are a couple of favorites from a photo excursion last week with my friend Rob.
Both of these images were made at Cape Enrage, N.B. using the HDR technique.


 

These were some my more contemplative images before Rob and I jumped into a less contemplative mood

Ways of Seeing: Photography for the Artist in Us

This year will be my 5th year as a co-facilitator for this wonderful event.  I look forward to it every year.
  Currently, there are still some spaces available.



Ways of Seeing: Photography for the Artist in Us

Experience the seasonal light and colours of Tatamagouche in autumn, and deepen your photographic practice. "Push your envelope" through creativity exercises, group critiques, discussions, artist talks, films - and more - while enjoying a group process of safety and support. Learn to capture what you see in your heart and mind. All levels of photography experience are welcome.

New Images Vol.2

These two images were made in early August during a visit to my friend Ross's cottage on the Kingston Peninsula, The panoramic is six images joined to form a single image.



Since I pretty much suck at horseshoes, I thought I would at least post a nice image of playing horseshoes.

New Images Vol.1

As promised, here are a couple of new images made over the last few months.





More images to come.

OK, OK. Time for a new post.

Wow!, I have not posted anything since Good Friday.
I better rectify this situation. This image will be the first of several over the next few days to get the ball rolling and back into the blogging groove.



I have already scheduled the first couple posts for the next 2 days, so trust me there's more :)

Recent work vol. 3

These images were made a couple of weekends ago on a photo excursion with my pal Shannon. It was a great day to get out and I am pleased with several of the images made that day. The square cropping seemed to suit many of the images from this trip, something to explore further in the future. Here are a couple to get started, more will follow.

Recent work vol. 2

These 2 images were made in early February at the Tatamagouche Centre after being a co-facilitator of a youth confirmation event. It was a wonderful experience and I took some time to walk around the grounds to reflect and soak up some more of the good energy before heading home.

Quiet Light

It's been a couple of months since my last post, but I haven't been hibernating. I plan to post some more of my recent work in the next few entries. This image was made in the quiet light of winter in Albert County, New Brunswick.
