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 theyContinueContinue reading “Week 39: Autumn”

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 cellContinueContinue reading “Week 38: Laughter”

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 alsoContinueContinue reading “Week 37: Perspective”

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,ContinueContinue reading “Week 35: Adventure”

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 AmsterdamContinueContinue reading “Week 34: Top down”

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 intrusiveContinueContinue reading “Week 33: Fleeting Moment”

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 rideContinueContinue reading “Week 32: Immensity”

Week 31: Colour

This week’s theme had me stumped for a while. I knew where to find some great colour (the boat rentals at Dow’s Lake) but went at the wrong time of day. So instead I played around with the creative settings on the Sony DSC-WX500 and shot some red only photos. I also visited the Farmers’ContinueContinue reading “Week 31: Colour”

Week 30: Immobility

This week’s challenge was difficult to wrap my head around. Am I looking for things that can’t move? Or just aren’t moving in the moment I capture them? Traffic on the Queensway on the Friday afternoon of the start of the August long weekend. Lots of immobility there. In both directions. Take out Samsung cellContinueContinue reading “Week 30: Immobility”
