Been a little while ...

It has been almost four months since my last posting. There were a few projects, I had been working on. One of them were re-editing some of my previous images and I am updating the images on these previous post.

The other main project ... I have been working on ... named Series 8. These are a series of 8 images, hence the project is aptly named Series 8. Finally the first set of Series 8 images are completed. Please see my new blog for this project posting and images.

I will still continue to post on ... your morning SNAPZ!, however at the moment, it may not be as often as the Series 8 site. ... your morning SNAPZ! will be more of a review on the technical aspect of a camera or film and etc.

Come on over to Series 8 and see what's on site.

Here is a little cottage country humour. I came across this Modern Outhouse this past summer.

Image was captured by Leica D-Lux 3 ... Aaah yes! I did not have my medium format film camera with me. But I do carry a P&S digital camera even though I am not a huge proponent of this photography medium - it is convenient. The image was than converted through Nik Silver Efex plug-in for Aperture/Adobe Photoshop.

Abstract Urban Images

Urban landscapes ...
Landscape photography does not always have to be awe inspiring mountains, lakes or indescribable sunsets. It can be things that you see everyday ... but have been desensitized to it.

Take a moment and look around you ... look at things as you would through an empty picture frame. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you see...

Open Eyes ... Open Mind.

Always keep an open mind ...
When going on a shoot, keep an open mind. For instance when I went down to the Canal Road farms, I wanted to capture the fallow lines in the fields. However, this electrical pole with its coil of wires and the road sign caught my attention as well. This was not planned, but it worked as part of the theme.

Groupings of Main Objects.

Geometric lines are not the only visual impact in photography. Grouping of objects works as well.

Return to Canal Road.

There's always something interesting to see ...
Today's post should be appropriately called "... your evening SNAPZ!" As I had indicated in my last post, there is always something interesting at the Canal Road farms. I was back there again this morning, I can always find something interesting to capture.

Not Just Geometric Lines.

Vehicles or machinery can make interesting subject ...
This weekend will be my fifth visit to the Ash Bridges Moraine farmlands. The geometric lines is not the only thing that fascinates me. There are other subjects to capture my attention. All you need to do is look around. As the image above proves, it is just another type of "geometric lines"

More geometric lines.

The richest farm soil in Ontario ...
To continue on the same note as Thursday morning's SNAPZ, I am posting another image about geometric lines. You can find tons of these geometric lines in and around the farm rich land of Ontario - especially the Oak Ridges Moraine - part of the Greenbelt of Ontario. Anyway I had company for this shoot (on occasion I do have company, most days I shoot solo). My friend, Carole, who was visiting from South Carolina (formerly Montreal) had a good chuckle that I kept spouting and getting excited over "The lines, look at the lines!"

The other difference on this shoot, I was hopping in and out of my car. Most shoots involve me cycling or walking. It was a situation where there was not an area to park and it was too far to walk from one spot to the next. Plus I did not have an extra bicycle for my companion that morning. But I must say, I accomplished what I had set out to do.
