O Christmas Tree

Another "Our Daily Challenge"...plastic was the theme of the day. I have always loved this little tree I got at Zeller's for about $8 years and years ago.......it's white with opalescent circles all over it.

Knitting

I joined a group on Flickr called "Our Daily Challenge"...you have  a different theme each day and you post a photo taken that day...it's a great challenge and lots of fun. The other day it was something starting with "K". Not a lot of things start with "K". Here was my effort and I was quite pleased with the results. I love the tones and negative space.

Warm Wishes

Christmas Candy

Wishing you a sweet holiday season!!!!!

Peace on Earth

I'm pretty much a purist most of the time with my photography...maybe because I'm so hopeless with Photo Shop. But lately some of my Flickr friends have inspired me to try a technique using layers downloaded from Flickr. Here is my first effort in a long while and it turned out pretty much how I wanted it. The sheep's head is little too big I think but I do love her face.
I call this 'digital art' as opposed to photography.
Let me know what you think!

Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth!!!

Carillon Tower

Taken on a night shoot with my Esquimalt Photography Club. At about 4:40pm on Dec. 4th and the light was so beautiful....the rest of my club members were headed for the restaurant and I hung back to grab this shot.
ISO 1600. f 2.8, 1/100sec handheld, with my tripod clenched under my arm...go figure!

Commenting

Thanks to my photography club friend Edith for commenting on my Blog via hotmail....I have been ignoring this Blog lately because I never get any feedback on it and therefore thought nobody was looking at it. If you are viewing my Blog and you like it, or even if you don't but have something constructive to say, please comment , it's easy using the 'anon' profile on the drop down box for comments OR e-mail me at kweese@hotmail.com.

Snow Dog

I don't usually put photos of my dog Beau on this Blog because I have a Blog about Beau.... www.allaboutbeau.blogspot.com BUT I am particularly proud of this shot of him. 1/640 sec, ISO 800,       f 8.0 with exposure compensation +0.33. It looks really good on a white background, not the black of Blogspot.

Macaulay Park in the Snow

I took my dog down to Macaulay Park in the snow today and grabbed this shot. Love how minimal  it is and the coldness.
ISO 400 1/400sec and F10.0. Handheld with my 70-200 zoom @70mm.

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.
