Photo of the Week 2017-04-03

I've been reminiscing again ... going back through shots from my first trip to Killarney several years ago ... and knowing I need to go back. Soon ...

I've always liked something about the original capture for this image, but until my recent foray into false colour processing I wasn't able to process it and bring out the surreal quality that was there. All it took was a relaxing weekend at home, editing time, tunes and some post processing work to get a result I was satisfied with.

It can be difficult to visualize the final outcome with infrared captures. There is so much that can be done in post processing to alter the image recorded by the camera. In order to realize the full potential of this genre, I need to work with it much more, not just in post processing but out making capturing images of a wide range of subjects in a wide range of conditions.

I'm just getting started ...

Photo of the Week 2011-10-10

This week I found it more difficult to pick a "photo of the week" with Canadian Thanksgiving and the spectacular local fall colours competing with my recent trip to Killarney Provincial Park and my library of images.

Why my library of images? Because I have been going through all the digital images and scans I have going back to 2002 as I prepare for a Photo Show 'n Sale with some fellow local photographers during the Guelph Studio Tour, Oct 14,15,16. Our group has arranged for a room in Dublin United Church, Guelph to show our work concurrent with the studio tour. I've been busy reviewing the library, preparing images for printing and burning through ink and paper to get ready for the show. It's always great to go back through the library and see what I have, where I've been photographically.

This aside, I simply cannot choose anything other than a Killarney image for this week. I've been planning for my trip to this location for almost two years and ...
... WOW, what a place. My main goal was to make the day-hike to "The Crack" and capture some sweeping landscape vistas of the quartzite white LaCloche mountain canvas painted with fall colours.

I can hardly leave you with just one image from "The Crack" ...

This from the trail across the quartzite as we came out of the forest and had our destination in sight.

This showing the mystical white rock that makes the place very special.

This at the edge of "The Crack" that you climb to get to the top, the view is the reward for your efforts.

In my mind, I'm still there ...
takin' it all in...
