2016-02-20: World Pangolin Day

I’ve already done a post with the best pangolin photos I managed to take (if you missed it the first time around, you can find it here).  But as it’s world pangolin day, I thought I would see what I could do with a photo that didn’t make the original post, in a black and white edit.  I like the way the texture of the scales are emphasized in monochrome.

2016-02-01: Monochrome Monday

I wanted to do something a bit different for this monochrome Monday, so I edited this photo in a very stylized manner, hoping to be reminiscent of a painting.

Let me know what you think.

Happy Monday!

The skies above the Okavango Delta are absolutely spectacular. I see this and immediately want to start planning a trip back!

2016-01-24:What I’ve seen this week

Two weeks in a row now, I haven’t spent much time out with my camera.  🙁  The weather has been a big factor again; the warmer temperatures have continued, cycling just above and below 0C, plus heavy rain one day and snow the day before that and after (the roads around my place are a bit challenging for walks at the moment, navigating sheets of ice and piles of frozen slush).  The birds have not been around as much as usual, and I’ve barely seen the deer at all this week (though my neighbour told me yesterday there was a coyote pack hanging around, and that could definitely have something to do with the scarcity of the deer).

Fingers crossed for a more successful week of photos coming up!

I spent some time out yesterday evening with a few members of the photo club; we had hoped mother nature would provide clear skies and the original plan was to go to a local lake for star photography. Alas, mother nature does what she wants, when she wants. With the lake fogged in, we stayed around town and photographed the winery across the river from town.

There were too many trees along the edge of the river to get much in the way of light trails with tail lights, but I thought that this logging truck provided some interesting detail during a long exposure.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom; a beautiful morning while out walking early in the week.

2016-01-18: Monochrome Monday

As it turns out, I didn’t end up liking a single photo I took last week, so instead, I edited one from the archives that I was looking at over the weekend.

An early morning rhino family photo. I love the long shadow along the body of the one on the right; it mimics the shape of the horn beautifully.

If the day ends in Y, it’s a day that I will happily edit some elephant photos – so that’s what I’ve done 🙂

I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful evening.

I just can’t resist the look on this elephant’s face as he reaches up for the perfect branch to chew on.
