these two photos were taken near Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy. I was scooting on my chair and saw the light illuminating this small pine tree.
Great example of simplicity through DOF. Really like how the little plant is lit. Background is really good as well. Foreground is a bit distracting.
Took the liberty to play with Photoshop Beta to remove and replace the foreground. Then cropped to put the plant roughly in the !/3 intersection.
Same place same time on the way back to the parking lot I spotted a batch of mushrooms and got close with the macro setting on the Olympus.

Beautiful soft lighting and background. Great example!
thank you, Henri
Very nice photo!
Highly recommend a visit to the new Polar Bear enclosure to visit Baffin and Siku which are our new polar bears. I was there on Dec 2 and it was fabulous. They have an amazing space to wander and play in. This picture was taken with my phone.
Really like this diagonal composition and the colour scheme.
The two polar bears have a two acre enclosure for roaming. Here is one of them outside of the pool. Shot with my Nikon: 400 FL, F6.5, S 1/500, ISO 1000 Auto WB, CW Metering.
Always beautiful Lake Louise

Not a good photo (technically) but I like it – I think is a kind of jay
f/4.6, 1/200, iso200
Tony, I think it is a Steller’s Jay.
I really like this type of action shot. Very nice!

Our Lake Louise getaway saw us photograph at the Lake (a winter snow storm day made it possible to drive to the parking lot). Also at Emerald Lake, the Natural Bridge and Morant’s Curve. With only room for two images from these iconic spots I opted for an 4pm image of a CP unit train rounding the bend at the Curve. Moody, low clouds and mist and then all of a sudden The Train rounding the bend —- Wow!

Colour as the sun was setting. Watching the unit train pass by, all of a sudden everything was red containers.

My attempt at the artistic side of photography – Double Exposure. It was a challenge to figure out which is first the photo and which is second photo. This is with Macro lens, F5.6, 1/8 sec Auto ISO 1250.
Using depth of field to isolate the hockey player. I was concerned that fixing the aperture at f/4.0 that the shutter speed would be too slow to freeze the action.

Couldn’t resist a shot of this forest bride at Lake Enid holding her bouquet of white flowers. Also added a vignette to put her in the spotlight. Taken with iPhone, ISO 25, f/2.2, 1/663.
Very cool!

Kruger Park, South Africa. One of my favourite African birds, a lilac-breasted roller, so called because it rolls in the air when catching insects. Far enough away that I didn’t see it had a beetle in its beak until I downloaded my photos to my iPad that evening.
ISO 3200, 340 mm, f/13, 1/1250
Blyde Canyon, South Africa. Basically just a pretty picture taken from a rock near the edge. The third largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon.
ISO 1600, 40 mm, f/6.3, 1/2500 sec. Taken with my fixed lens Ricoh pocket camera.
Maybe the 10th largest now that I look it up. It’s the greenest one though! Not the first time a guide was misinformed.
