I've seen it like this before but was reminded of this lovely sight. It was too late once I get home to get this shot since my gear was scattered all over the place, but last night I set out to catch it. This involved walking through a closed off construction zone, but it was a fun little adventure. I stuck around and took several shots. I'll post them over the next few days.

Just noticed I haven't posted anything yet for 2013. That doesn't mean I'm not shutter active. I am finally completing the final class of the photography program at Algonquin and shooting like a maniac. I've got the studio cleared out again after it became (..ahem) temporary storage. I'm looking forward to really turning it into a dedicated space and sprucing it up and hanging some work on the walls. Picking the ones to go up will be a challenge!
I'll probably need to create a new website for my class. While I like the blog format because it allows you to see what's new, it's not great at showing a full body of work.
One of our assignments is self-portraits. I've done lots of these (hey, when there's nobody else around, who's left to shoot?) but I wanted to go for something different, something odd and quirky...like me. I took the first shot in the tub, and I've been playing lots with superimposing and layering, and put some icy frost from winterlude over the top. I prefer the B&W but the bottom one went over better in class. I find it a little Avatarish (wow...that was a few years ago now!). Do you have a preference?
Next post will be less me and more other stuff...promise :)

I've been out on a few night shoots with the photo club at work and it's been really productive for me. I'm not sure why but I just seem to be in my element at night, even though the temperature can drop down and it gets chilly fast! I"m posting the second night's shots since I'm kind of more excited about them. I've been going out lots since sunset almost coincides perfectly with when I get off work...but not for long!

Today I had the pleasure of attending a vernissage in Almonte that one of my fellow TC Photo Clubbers, Bob Boisvert (or as I know him, Captain Bob) participated in. Exhibiting is a significant achievement for any artist and the vernissage is a great way to celebrate all the hard work that goes into it and talk to the artists about their work. The work was all stunning and the venue was also beautiful. I was inspired to shoot afterwards and Almonte was a perfect setting.
These are a few shots I took on photowalks in the fall. I'm fascinated by how a play of light can turn a very commonplace thing into something fabulous :)
