Photo of the Week 2012-11-26

I was busy most of this past weekend participating in a local Help Portrait event in Fergus ON. It's the second year a local event has been held and that I have been involved. This year was as enjoyable and as much fun as last year. 

All the images taken at the event were collected, printed and given to the clients so I wasn't able to bring any back. The plan is to provide the photographers with the files later, so I hope to have some images to share in the near future.


For this week's photo it's back to Rockwood from a week ago. My return visit to the conservation area on a misty Sunday morning provided more than enough images to choose from, this one in colour after working through a number processed in B&W.

Now that colours have disappeared in the throes of fall, this weekend I decided on an outing to Rockwood Conservation Area and to shoot entirely in black and white.

The day started out with fog slowly dissipating as we drove to the location but a light mist remained for most of the morning to add some atmosphere to the images. The trail along the north side of the river did manage to provide some some nice scenery and with the water level about a metre lower than normal, the area had taken on a different look.

I enjoyed the outing so much that when I woke up to fog again on Sunday, I decided to head back before driving to see my mother. Together the outings produced a number of decent images and reminded me that I need to visit this location more often.

I decided to post a day early this week in recognition of Remembrance Day.

Another dawn they shall never see ...

This weekend I had my shooting planned around Remembrance Day activities in Guelph. It started with a 9:00 am ceremony at John McCrae house where I had the pleasure of meeting Derek, a British Veteran of Malaysia and we spoke briefly of some of his memories.

The image that stands out for me from the day's shooting was one I took earlier at the cenotaph as dawn broke, before the day's events had begun. The memorial, a Canadian flag and single cluster of red poppies were striking in the early morning light.

I've had difficulty selecting a single image to present this week. As I mentioned in last week's post, there have been a large number of additions to my photo library since September and I've been going through them and posting a number to my flickr account. You can click the link jump to there if you like. I've simply selected the latest image from those posts as my Photo of the Week.

After working hard to find a location for morning shooting, I have a number of favourites from the images that I made there... funny considering it was a desperation drive back a few clicks to get here in time for sun to rise over the horizon. Sometimes it just works ... other times, not so much.
