HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! 

 

I spent some time with family over the weekend, in the wonderful setting at Revolves Farms, where autumn has made colourful scenes ...

The "timber-frame" is a great place to sit and watch morning arrive at Revolve Farms. With sun rising above the eastern treeline, it spills onto treetops outside the window of a favourite seat. Sipping morning coffee and getting the day started with this view is something special.

Photo of the Week 2022-12-05

 

Late last week I received a message from a photo buddy asking if I'd like to ride shotgun while he went train spotting in an attempt to catch his friend during conductor training. The odds of success were questionable but I was happy to play sidekick on a sunny, if cold and breezy afternoon. In the end, we managed to hear some of the chatter from the train on a handheld scanner, but never did manage to see the actual train, or any train at all for that matter :-/

The H. Krug Furniture Co. Limited factory in Kitchener ON provided some shadow and pattern subject matter so we didn't come home empty handed :-)

reflective conversation


One of the members of my photo club suggested a mid morning outing in Downtown Guelph this past Saturday. Normally I head out early in the morning to take advantage of the wonderful light available before the sun is higher in the sky and blasting away on it's MAX setting. Oh there are times when the cloud cover is just right, diffusing the sunlight to soften shadows and tone things down a bit. Saturday was not one of those days. The sky was clear, blue and allowing the full strength of the sun to pass.

This was an outing to explore opportunities that would use or manage the harsh light. Shadows and textures are always more dramatic in full sunlight and care must be taken to make an image that works. Glare and reflection too can be difficult to manage, but ...
... sometimes it can be the reflection that makes, not breaks, the image.

As I walked up Douglas St. approaching the Red Brick Cafe near the end of our outing, I saw 2 people sitting inside having a conversation. The window was fogged on the inside and I moved to get a composition I liked but the reflection of the Gummer Bldg reconstruction across the street was quite distracting. I snapped the image anyway and once I saw the result on my monitor at home, I found it appealing.
