I love the colours of Boston Ivy in the fall, and Sunday while out and about it was no exception ... so I took some time to do a photographic study of the vines clinging to some limestone walls and wooden trellis' ... I hope you enjoy.

... looking for something different, I decided to experiment with some in camera multiple exposures of fall colours along the cottage road. Choosing to make multiple exposures of the same scene shifting the camera slightly by rotating, moving laterally or vertically instead of combining completely different scenes (which I'll likely try in future), I was pleased with the whimsical set of images that resulted.
I'm not sure that I have the perfect combination of rotation and translation given the subject mater, but I really liked the result I got with this one.

On a recent trip into Owen Sound, I made a point of visiting Indian Falls Conservation Area to check out the fall colours. It was a weekday and nary another visitor was to be seen along the trail or river ... how serene peaceful it was.
It's only a 10 min hike up to the falls, and I had about an hour before I had to get going back to Tobermory, so I took my time hopping off the train now and then to check out upstream views of the creek. There's a point where the formal trail heads up a set of stairs to ascend the gorge, continuing on to the viewing area for the falls. In recent years, a collapse of a limestone section on the north side of the falls has prompted the erection of safety barriers set further back and the traditional observation area so I chose to make a couple of quick exposures and return to the river bed and push upstream on the unofficial trail.
This upstream view of Indian Creek caused me to stop, find a place to sit and take in the peaceful surroundings for a while before continuing upstream.
I made a few similar images on the upstream trek, each conveying it's own sense of calm and serenity. I hope you enjoy looking at a couple of them as much as I enjoy recalling my visit to Indian Falls.

Another visit to Paris, ON to photograph this pretty little town ...

My favourite has to be this location from the ruins at Penman's Dam. I hopped over the fence and scrambled down the river bank hoping I could get in a position to frame something through this opening in the ruins ... and I could.

A trip back to Paris, ON ... and some potential additions to my Skyward Series
While unfortunately requiring a degree of convalescence from an injury to my right elbow and resulting infection requiring IV antibiotics, I decided to make a visit back to Paris for some infrared captures around the town. The IR converted EOS M and my G3X proved light enough that I could wield them without pain or further aggravating the elbow.
It was a great morning for shooting IR with bright sun, though I would have preferred some cloud in an otherwise clear sky. I spent a few hours wandering around the town, capturing images of the prominent storefronts, buildings and local scenes.
Always looking to push my photographic craft further, every outing offers a new lesson or reinforces previous ones. While I made quite a few exposures looking for something different, I fell back to the "skyward" approach as there was simply too much activity at street level distracting from what I had in mind to capture. By pointing the camera "skyward' along the shop fronts, I eliminate the distraction, and capture a unique yet recognizable view if this pretty little town.
