This weekend’s photo trek was planned for McLeans Auto Wreckers, a familiar and normally inspiring location. I was eagerly anticipating a fair amount of snow partially burying the rusting hulks. Weather was not cooperating and the conditions I expected would not be. As Saturday approached with the forecast for overcast skies and higher temps, I decided to gear up with a couple of lenses that would allow me to capture something different. I went with my Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro for DoF effects and the Lensbaby Composer for that “Lensbaby” look. Both of these allowed me to capture the familiar scenes around McLeans in unique ways. It was a both a creative recharge and quite an enjoyable outing.

Those that know my photographic eye, will recognise the style. I am drawn to the colours on the vehicle in this image as the layers of paint weather, fade and peel away.
I'm a Canadian photographer that loves to be outdoors experiencing and capturing the beauty of the land with my camera. Much of my time is spent enjoying these photographic pursuits. I make images of scenes and subjects that move me visually, sharing them with others through my photographic fine art prints and online.
When not at home in Guelph, Ontario or at our cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, I can generally be found roaming around somewhere in Ontario, almost assuredly with a camera.
