Do you ever wonder what you missed out on? That feeling of being so close to the answer, but not quite? Well, that feeling struck me the other night as I was fiddling around with different lenses than I’m used to.

I like this shot because… well there’s no reason other than it’s cool!
A long exposure of a plane flying overhead looks pretty funky

Here’s a li’l gallery of some of my spooky sky photos that are still worth posting.
PHOTO BLOG: St Patrick’s Sky!
A gorgeous day gives way to a beautiful clear night where I can see by the light of the moon!
Okay, poetics aside, it’s really nice out. So much so that I went outside and took photos of the stars.
PHOTO BLOG: Throwback Thursday: Ottawa
Remember that time I went to Ottawa and thought I could tour Parliament Hill… well I could’ve but most of it was under wraps, literally.
[To go on the guided tour inside you need to go across the street and get a voucher and from what I understand it’s a first-come-first-serve for the day. I decided to stay outside and get some fresh canal air.]
PHOTO BLOG: Time Trial Tuesday
I gave myself a limit of five minutes per photo to see how much editing I could get done. Any more time than that and I start getting too finicky or else I end up overdoing it.
Check the “natural” edits of lighting and crops that I’ve done on some old shots of Montreal:
On the drive to Lunenburg, NS on a rainy summer day.
Blue Beach, near Hantsport, NS, where fossils and shale are aplenty.
Halls Harbour has some nice views of the horizon, even on a cloudy day.
Looking across the Bay of Fundy from Halls Harbour, NS.
On the bright side, the view from Halls Harbour is great
GALLERY: Recalling Summer
A look at some of the shoreline views I had in Nova Scotia this summer, including looking across the Bay of Fundy at Halls Harbour. Somewhere closer to the southern shore of the province, I took the lone picnic bench shot.
Not sure what sort of somber mood I was in that day but it sure looks gloomy. That reminded me of the impending winter (he said, in balmy Vancouver) and had me thinking back to summer.
PHOTO BLOG: How much is too much?
I always struggle with how much of a change to make when I edit photos. The possibilities are endless. For example:
The meadows are a literal sea of green
Nova Scotia in full summer glory
Poplars pop up swiftly in these parts
Nova Scotia in full summer glory
Macro daisy shot, obliged when taking photos of flowers
Nova Scotia in full summer glory
GALLERY: Throwback Thursday: Nova Scotia in Bloom
Here’s a quick reminder of the beauty of this past summer: a Maritime mountain meadow.
Three cities, three galleries
Galleries of the places I’ve been: Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal.
