' serviceberry in sunlight ' 

Driving local backroads in spring, I had an idea to capture a lone serviceberry in isolation blooming among the barren tree trunks of other wetland dwellers.
While unable to find the scene I had envisioned, there were variations of the theme available to show their brightly delicate spring blossoms.

' Revolve Spring Morning '

From a morning walkabout with camera (after coffee of course) on our first visit to Revolve Farms this spring ... for Mother's Day.

Randomly, but quite frequently, I delve into my backlog of images, either those marked as candidates for processing, or those processed and marked candidates for posting. The number of marked images keeps growing and this week, in an effort to not leave them all to languish in digital purgatory I thought to choose one from May of a previous year, 2017 in fact.

 

' roadside recollection '

A familiar location along the road on drives to the cottage. Sometimes it calls out a challenge for me to stop and attempt a print-worthy capture. This may have met the challenge, at least well enough for a trial print. We'll see.

' April Showers '

It certainly has been a wet April ... and I met a friend for a walk on the Wild Goose Woods Trail in the UofG Arboretum. Shortly after we started, the rain intensity increased to the point where eventually we were driven back to our vehicles and retired to a local cafe for coffee and a chat. But ... not before making an image or two.

Finding subject matter of interest at a rural 'farm equipment & tractor parts supply' location (aka tractor junkyard) with a 105mm macro lens, shooting close up though not necessarily macro ...

 

' constriction '

In addition to taking my infrared modified camera and shooting for high contrast B&W (see the recent images in this album) in the bright sun, I also had a digital body with the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 mounted to see what I could capture with fixed focal length and close up capability.

 

Here is a screen capture of additional processed images likely be posted to my social media streams in the coming days.

 

  

Offering far more than "just old tractors", there are patterns, textures, shapes and colours to explore. The freedom of experimenting and playing with compositions nourishes the creative soul.
