Newfoundland photography Workshop

Puffins always make me smile. I really feel lucky that I sometimes am granted an up close and personal look at them.

Photographing gannets in foggy weather might sound counterintuitive. Most people don't consider a foggy day beautiful. It does, however, provide an opportunity to do something a little different, and the results can be surprising.

In this time of Photoshop, I often find myself questioning the authenticity of images. Is that real, or is it Photoshop? Then, on days like this, I am reminded that nature is extremely good at producing the unexpected. I really enjoyed watching the circular rainbow change, it started out fairly light, then strengthened, slowly defused and disappeared. No Photoshop or filters were used, this was all nature's show, and isn't better when things are authentic.

It took awhile for the young foxes to exit their den today, but when they did, they had a lot of fun and so did I.

Today, I went to Cape St. Mary's to photograph the birds. I never expected that I would also be able to photograph a mother fox and her pups. Thank you to the staff for letting me know that the fox was around with her pups. Great day.

I went to Cape St. Mary's this morning to test out some new photography equipment with the birds as my subject. I changed from Canon to Nikon cameras this year and photographing fast moving birds is a good test of how the new gear will perform. I guess it is also a test of how well I perform with the new equipment. It was sunny but very windy, and it was nice to see the birds are back.
