Ewe Portrait

Taken out at Parry Bay Sheep Farm on Friday afternoon. I had so much fun photographing the sheep. Lots of different lighting during the hour I was there but this is probably the most beautiful light there was.
I love the tones and bokeh in this shot as well as her poor ear, but her ear makes the photo.
f 5.0 1/800 sec, ISO 200. Handheld on a 70-200 zoom.

Kevin and Laurel

This portrait so captures this very funny couple. They both have an amazing sense of humour and one of them is always laughing. What a fun photo shoot this was!
f 5.6, ISO 200, 1/125sec...handheld and converted to B&W in iPhoto.

Cabbage Patch

Cabbage Patch

This was taken out at Island View on a pretty dull wet afternoon but the colour saturation was perfect.
I particularly like the dof and the colours and the frill of that first leaf.
f 6.3  ISO 400, 1/400 sec on my 70-200 zoom @173mm...handheld as per usual but I at least took my tripod with me this shoot...

Safe distance for now

Today I stopped and took some photos of these beautiful very black cows in a very green pasture. At first they were pretty cautious about this long lens pointing at them but they all came around, and proceeded to the fence and stood so perfectly still, looked right into the camera. More of that shoot to follow. Click on photo to view larger...looks much better!

Bangs

Taken at Providence Farm in Duncan, B.C. this week-end. This is one of the therapeutic riding horses that lives there.
1/250 sec, ISO 200 , f5.6.

Harvesting the grapes

Taken at Gray Monk Winery.

1/500 sec, f 8.0, ISO 200 on a 70-200mm zoom lens @150mm.

Autum Tapestry

More photos from along the Shuswap River. The beauty there is breathtaking. Can't even decide which shot I like better.
F 5.6 ISO 200 1/400sec on a 70-200 zoom @ 200mm.
Be sure to click on the photo to view 'large' as you can really appreciate the details better.

End of the Season

This sunflower looks as though it's saying a prayer of thanks for a life well lived.

Taken along the Shuswap River, near Enderby B.C., in late afternoon on Thanksgiving week-end.

ISO 200, 1/200 sec at F4.5 handheld on a 70-200 zoom lens.

Fog Burning

I'm not a real  big fan of the point and shoot but sometimes it's the ticket...as it was in the fog. I love the mystery in this photo and the hint of violet.

Fall Ferns

ISO 100, f 3.2, 1/50 sec handheld. These ferns are finished but amazing how beautiful they can look all dried up. It almost looks as though there is frost on them.
