Woodpecker in flight

I was out for a walk on the Dobson Trail with Ben when we came upon some active bird feeders. This image was my favorite, I love the sense of motion.

Winter triptych, Shinimicas

The February sky was moving rapidly and strips of sunlight would pass over the scene. These 3 images were made over the span of a minute or two.

Eagle Eye

This image was made in the fall of '08 on the beach at Fernwood, PEI
I was photographing the kids and I happened to see this eagle landing on the beach ahead from the corner of my eye.
Naturally, the telephoto lens was not on my camera so I grabbed a couple of frames with what I had, (indeed, they were crap)
Then I fired the telephoto onto my camera and slowly walked toward the eagle taking photos every few steps. I guess
when I had gotten too close, it was time for my feathered friend to leave, that is the image you see here. I have no idea
what that lump of meat in it's talons is, it is not regognizable as a creature. I suspect it is a piece of something larger like a seal.

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.

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
