2016-11-20: What I've seen this week

It’s seems like such a long time since I have done one of these posts!  I was planning to do one last week, but woke up Sunday morning to a computer meltdown instead – not quite how I was planning to spend my day.

I’ve got a bit of a mixed bag from the last two weeks… Fingers crossed I can get back into the routine of weekly photos again 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

I was very excited that the first time I’ve saw Bohemian Waxwings happened to be on a bright, sunny day.

These were part of a larger group that were in my neighbourhood for a very short period of time.  If I had left a few minutes later for my lunchtime walk, I would have missed them.  1/800 sec, f5.6, ISO 320

This fox has become a fixture in the neighbourhood, but (s)he is very shy and scurries away as soon as Spencer and I get close.  The weather has been to iffy to haul around my big lens, so zoom and cropping are my friends.  1/500 sec, f5.6, ISO 800

For the Monday supermoon, I went on a field trip with my photo club.  After a year and a half living here, it’s the first time I have been down to photograph the train bridge.  All you can see of the moon is the light trail on the water. 0.4 sec, f4.0, ISO 2000 (Nikon D610)

Same scene, different camera and a different interpretation.  0.3 sec, f3.1, ISO 1000 (Panasonic FZ1000)

2016-11-17: Feel Good Friday

I for one am very happy it’s Friday and the weekend is nearly here.  After a computer meltdown last weekend, I am back up and running and will be able to get back to my normal posting schedule.

It’s no surprise that I love elephants, and this photo was taken during my last trip to South Africa, when we stopped our vehicle in the bushes and watched the herb graze and amble along.  Always a wonderful moment 🙂

A line of elephants moving through the bush as the light starts to fade.  I could have processed this in a more HDR way to bring up the shadows, but as it is, the image feels true to how I remember the scene, with the elephants fading into the bushes.

2016-11-04: Feel Good Friday

Friday already!  It really snuck up on me; this week has gone by in a blur.

You know what I wouldn’t like sneaking up on me, is this beautiful girl.

Have a great weekend everyone!

10-31-2016: Monochrome Monday

This is a first edit of a photo pulled from deep in the archives, shot with my first dSLR camera and lens combo while on a cruise, January 2012.  I’m really liking how this has turned out 🙂

10-30-2016: Vida Voices Collection

I am very excited as I have been wanting to share this opportunity that I have been working on for some time!

Jennifer Sawicky – Vida Voices Collection

I have been working on creating textile designs from my photography with a company called Vida.  I was hesitant to make any announcement about it until I had product in hand; now that I have seen the tops and scarves, I am confident in the quality of the products that they are making.  I have been having lots of fun editing my photos for this project, utilizing both photo realistic and stylized designs.

This is something that I will be working on over time, and as I add some new designs, I will share them here as well as on my Facebook and Instagram pages.  Certainly if you have any suggestions of photographs that should be added, please do let me know!

As always, you can find my work available for print sales here.
