Week 43: Levitation

I’m a bit behind on my challenges. To be honest, I think I’ve been running out of steam and inspiration. But this week for levitation I had ideas … big ideas! Last time I did this challenge, I held up a leaf to make it look it was levitating instead of falling. But this yearContinue

Week 42: Silhouette

I’ve been backdating the posts for the month of October. These photos were unintentional but work as silhouettes, with a bit of processing. Enjoy!

Week 39: Autumn

As I learned again this year, autumn doesn’t necessarily fall on week 39. Did you catch that pun? So I gave myself a bit more time. And I’m glad I did. Our cat Wellington loves autumn. For him, it’s about plump and juicy chipmunks and squirrels that have become slower and more distracted as theyContinue

Week 38: Laughter

I did see laughter this week, but most of the time didn’t have a camera to capture it. Two of this week’s photos were taken at an event that I volunteered at. Every time I heard laughter, I would hone in and try to capture it visually. The third photo was taken with my cellContinue

Week 37: Perspective

This week, I tried to capture things from unusual perspectives. The Sony A-6600 accompanied us on a hike in Gatineau Park. I knew it was mushroom season and was looking for them at the start of trail #1. The camera was below the mushrooms, trying to make them look bigger from this perspective. It alsoContinue

Week 36: Nature

When I decided to re-order the challenges to better match where I would be, this one didn’t really end up in the right place. I did try to stop for nature pictures while we were cycling in Europe, but they didn’t make the cut. Instead only one photo from the trip made it this week,Continue

Week 35: Adventure

If only I could have figured out a way to capture the adventure of dealing with a rail strike when you have an overnight couchette that turns into 3 transfers instead of an early. But we were so busy living that adventure with full hands that there was no way to take any photos. Instead,Continue

Week 34: Top down

This week’s challenge was timed with our flight to Europe. I had re-arranged the challenges to give myself the best opportunities. And while I was able to take a lot of top-down photos from the plane, I also spent the week looking down a lot more than usual. During the week we cycled from AmsterdamContinue

Week 33: Fleeting Moment

I have to admit I felt a bit like a creeper trying to capture a fleeting moment. But how else do you find a fleeting moment without being ready and patiently waiting with your camera. We’d been doing a lot of bike rides that had stops at beaches, so I brought along the less intrusiveContinue

Week 32: Immensity

It would have been great to spot a snapping turtle while paddling on the Rideau River. Those are huge! But luck wasn’t on my side so I had to look elsewhere. I found it downtown and along the Ottawa River. I kept the Sony A-6600 in its bag all week. I planned a bike rideContinue
