The Tiny Ram's Head Lady Slipper

The is the second of two Ram’s Head Lady Slippers I am posting. We were lucky that these were growing under a tree near the trail where we were able to access them without disturbing the environment they were growing in. How small is small? Take a look at this.

Family celebrating New Years Day

So here we are, another new post. New Years day and there are photographers around the world starting Photo Of the Day projects. Having already done that, starting February 2005 and lasting more than two full years, I am not sure if I will try that once again. I have a few options in mind though I am not sure what I will do yet.

This photo was shot tonight and features members of my family along with myself. Hopefully the photo does mark the beginning of a new project.

One thing I do hope to do is include more shot setup info. Here it is.

Waiting to Take Flight

A butterfly sits perched atop a piece of dewy grass awaiting to take flight after a night’s rest. I converted this photo to black and white in Photoshop then added back in the orange from the butterfly’s wings.  This was done for a Facebook competition. i will post the full colour version tomorrow.

Another photograph of two Yellow Lady Slipper orchids I photographed a couple weeks ago on the Bruce Peninsula. I don’t remember what was behind to give it the blue tint to the shadows but I do like the results.

Watching The Sunset

I shot this group of three people on the end of the peer across from the cottage I was staying at on my recent trip to the Bruce Peninsula.  There was a thunderstorm approaching from the south and the rest of the sky was lit up in this amazing wash of red.  I thought the placement of the people against the dramatic sky would yield a nice photograph.   We did not get to shoot too much longer as the rain came and we hurried into the cottage.
