Photography
End of April update on my virtual walk from Lands End to John o’Groats. I am 37% done in 33% of the time. 637 km down, 1,107.2 km to go. I am a two day walk away (at my current pace) from Stratford Upon Avon. I am slightly ahead of pace. The red marker is my pace marker.
Behind our house is virtual flyway for all kinds of birds. Most are fairly shy and hard to capture. Bluejays especially are hard to entice to stick around.. but I have and idea for them. Here are a few of the visitors in the past couple of days.
Not being able to get out and about, or at least not very far has lead to some creative indoor photography. I took my extension tubes out to do some macro photography. I grabbed some liquid hand soap, some hand sanitizer and some old telephone wire that my kids used to make bracelets out of. The following are the results.
This morning I took the mobile photo studio to the local dealership to have the snow tires switched over to the summer tires. I wanted to be first in line so I was there at the crack of dawn. While I waited for the garage to open, I was rewarded with this spectacular urban sunrise.
Earlier this year I was asked if I would be interested in being the featured photographer in an upcoming issue of the Orkney.com newsletter.
Today, a nice surprise came out. I am very honoured that Orkney.com chose a Canadian amateur photographer to highlight a very special part of Scotland.
Check about half way down this months newsletter under the Focus on Photography heading.
Stay safe and healthy everyone, so we can go back again soon.
