autumn's last glow


Colours this fall have been far from what I have come to expect with few flaming oranges. Scarce were the brilliant reds I had had hoped for. What colour there was in the leaves around home came on slowly and in a few short days turned and fell to the ground. For me, autumn 2009 will live in my memory as hues of yellows and golds. It's all but done now for another year.

I visited Muskoka Wildlife Centre again for another photo encounter with the wolves ... even though this male and his companion female are human imprinted, it's quite an experience getting within arm's reach of a full-size adult wolf and have them look you in the eye.

Balls Falls Fall

It seems that all my POTW posts so far include water ... hmmm, I wonder if it means something.

I went on a "fall colour tour" with a group of friends from the Guelph Photographers Guild on Sunday. We decided on a specific portion of the Niagara Fall Colour Tour and made only one stop, at Balls Falls. That was all I needed, there was so much to see and shoot. I could have stayed much longer, but climbing the gorge and rocks with a fair bit of gear for 3-4 hours was enough for me.

On a recent business trip to Northern Ontario and the north shore of Lake Superior, I made some time for photography. The most memorable element of the scenery during my trip was the cloud cover which made for dramatic images including the sky. Here's just one example:

I chose Saturday morning to get out and shoot this weekend. The weather was fairly cooperative and rain held off for the most part. I went to some nearby waterfalls with with some friends to capture the early fall colour there ... funny, the image I like best forom the shoot is in B&W. I took this at Ancaster Mill Falls (upper). Shot with my Lensbaby Composer, a tool that helps make some very interesting images ...
