Month: June 2019

Today we took a little road trip south of Ottawa to the town of Brockville. Brockville is about an hour away. The town has a rail tunnel that was opened in 1860 and used until the 1970’s and then they turned it into a tourist attraction in 2017. The lighting and the textures inside were great to try and photograph. Afterwards we had a picnic in Iroquois Ontario. There is a great little Ice Cream Shop at the Iroquois locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway where we had some yummy dessert. I used my Kit Lens and my Fish Eye lenses for these shots. All were shot at 100 ISO, various F-stops, and shutter speeds.

I treated myself (well actually my daughters, wife and mother treated me for my birthday) to a couple of new lenses in my ever growing collection of goodies for my camera bag. I now have as part of my collection an Opteka 500 mm / 1000mm High Definition Telephoto lens and an Opteka 6.5mm F3.5 Wide angle Fish Eye Lens. I have taken a few test shots with them and here are the results below.

Thank you ladies for such great gifts!

I went to a little indoor car show today. It was invite only and there were only a few cars. Because it was indoors, I didn’t really like most of the photos that I took, but one really stood out for me. I took an interior shot of a Chevrolet Fleetline Sedan. These cars were produced between 1946-1952. The lighting really worked for an interior shot and with a little lightroom magic the result below is my favourite photo this month.
