Afternoon walk

Mothers Day; This year was spent going on an afternoon walk with my son, to make photos and explore. A familiar spot that we frequent near by.

Down behind the neighbourhood library there is this very nice park, complete with a pond and a little creek. We spotted a few creatures, but only one felt like allowing a portrait; And these wee bugs, I suppose they posed a wee bit no?

 

What a neat little frog, isn’t he? [Guessing on the gender as I really have no idea].

As usual, all photos post edited in Lightroom using VSCOfilm presets and minor adjustments.

 

A break from the rain (Canon 70D)

For a minute or two, the rain stopped and the sun came out. And so the Canon 70D was picked up and some photography was made;

 

 

Part one: A chair study of sorts. I really love this cushion, originally it was meant for the couch, but somehow it ended up on this awesome old chair. The contrast is fantastic! (Don’t let the darkness fool you, it was indeed sunny out – Just a little shadow play)

 

Part two: A wee study of my daughters Sector9 longboard. I’ve always enjoyed the colour of this things wheels, and even now still when they’re well used.

*Post editing was minor; Lightroom to fix the levels a tad using VSCOfilm, and a little crop here and there.

10.16.14 Test shoot: Canon 70D

 

Finally busted out the BEAST (Canon 70D) today! Wandering around the backyard, poking the lens into interesting things found behind crevasses, on the house and other objects laying about. With only a small amount of post processing done in Lightroom via VSCO Film. Really, straight out of the camera these photos look just fine, but! A little tweaking never hurt anything either ;]

 

Looking forward to getting into some long awaited projects, and some wanderings outside of this perimeter I call home. Stay tuned…
