We went back to Laurie Beach again on Saturday to shoot the river flowing down into the ocean there.

I got a couple of decent images from this trip, and then started playing with my IR-converted camera to see what I could get from that.

Jen and I went out to Laurie beach Wednesday night for a sunset shoot to break us out of our summer slump. I managed to get a couple of keepers out of the trip, hopefully it’ll be the start of much more frequent shooting and posting.

Jen and I spent this past weekend in Ontario for a wedding. We didn’t do much photo-wise, but we did manage to sneak in a trip to Niagara Falls, and out on Maid of the Mist.

While on the Camera 35 trip to St. Mary’s, we stopped in Branch to see the sheep, horses, and some of us saw some interesting birds.

As a break from the birds, here’s a landscape of Point Lance Beach, near St. Bride’s, NL.

This little guy was circling us for a good twenty minutes at Ship Cove, on the way back from St. Mary’s. It must have been something to see, no less than six of us lined off on the side of the road with our longest lenses, all trying to shoot this little bird (and it’s friend).

He didn’t stay in one spot for very long, so I captures a number of frames with no bird as well. I did also manage to catch one slightly blurred one just as he took off.

This will be the first of several photos from the Camera 35 trip to St. Mary’s. We had a good time, and it’s going to take some time to get everything processed to my satisfaction.

I saw a B&W photo of these stones over on 500px.com the other day and it occurred to me that while I was never really happy with how my photos there turned out, I never tried them in B&W. The colour version always seemed uninteresting, but with some dodging & burning the monochrome has a lot more impact.

Perhaps I need a note next to my monitor that says: “Did you remember to try that in B&W?”

Jen, Chris, and myself took a hike down to Freshwater Bay yesterday afternoon. It ended up being a really nice day; which, unfortunately, meant the light wasn’t great for photos. But we made the best of it and I managed to get a couple of shots worth processing.

This past weekend, Henry’s put off a photowalk through the downtown area of St. John’s, which a number of people I know participated in.

I wasn’t very motivated or inspired by my surroundings (I don’t care much for downtown St. John’s), so I figured I’d give my IR-converted camera a shot and just get something different. I made most of these a B&W treatment that’s more like a traditional IR image, instead of false colour that you often see these days.
