2016-12-15: WPC New Horizon

For the coming year, I plan to continue to challenge myself to explore new places, walk my own path, and plan adventures to the places that call to me.

That’s what I did in 2016, and it has been a fabulous year.

2016-04-05: WPC Landscape

Looking back through my photos, I think some of the most stunning landscape photos I have were taken in Namibia.  The amazing contrasts of such clear blue skies and the red sand, to me it was just breathtaking.

2015-12-06: What I’ve seen this week

This week, let’s great straight to the pictures!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend 🙂

20151206_What I've seen this week-3
A pine grosbeak working on a pinecone. I’m getting closer to getting a decent photo of the brightly coloured male. 1/640sec, f8.0, ISO 400
20151206_What I've seen this week-5
Getting even closer, but still not the type of shot I’m hoping for. 1/500sec, f5.6, ISO 2200
20151206_What I've seen this week-4
I love the shape of this crow flying overhead. 1/500sec, f5.6, ISO 400
20151206_What I've seen this week
Such an epic sunrise. At the time I was thinking it’s a shame to have the road and the wires visible, but I probably wouldn’t have had this view anywhere else. 1/640sec, f8.0, ISO 400
20151206_What I've seen this week-2
It was so beautiful I had to include two photos it. A brilliantly foggy sunrise.
20151206_What I've seen this week-6
A young deer grazing on my lawn. The early morning and dull day certainly didn’t do me any favours for photography; I was just happy to watch this little one and her Mom relax and graze around the yard. 1/250sec, f5.6, ISO 6400
20151206_What I've seen this week-7
Trying to capture a decent shot before sunrise on a dull day… not happening. But I was walking along thinking about white bunnies and hoping I’d see one soon that I could capture a photo of, and then I spotted this one 🙂 1/500sec, f5.6, ISO6400
20151206_What I've seen this week-8
My lunchtime walk brought another sighting of the bunny, in better light. I snapped a quick photo, and started to slowly move closer, hoping to get something better than this. 1/400sec, f5.6, ISO2800
20151206_What I've seen this week-9
I tried to move closer to take a better photo of the bunny, but it got spooked by a passing car, and all that was left was this tiny clump of fur caught on a branch. There was a tiny sunbeam coming through there; perhaps it was enjoying the warmth of the day.

Silhouetted trees and heart shaped clouds at sunrise. 1/400sec, f8.0, ISO 400

I liked the X marks the spot clouds and all the lovely tones in this early morning photo.

I stopped when I heard a "Peep peep peep" from the trees, and then spent the next 10 minutes watching this one move from tree to tree, all the while staying in lovely light for me to snap photos.

A group of black billed magpies. This photos isn't sharp the way I would like, and the depth of field is all wrong...but I like it anyways. I love all the different wing shapes, and the birds seemed so joyful flying around the neighbourhood.

What appeared to be a dull grey sky day had a few spectacular moments. It's all about timing.
