Michelle Ruth tried the Pep Ventosa technique at the fountain in Harrison Park. This technique requires taking a number of exposures as you walk around your subject, then layering them together in post. It’s a very fun technique to try, and Michelle’s first attempt turned out great!
Zachary MacLean has an eye for the marine industry in our harbour. He took this lovely photo of a lake freighter as it approaches the Sound from Georgian Bay in the early morning. The gradient hues of the sky are well complimented by the water and the sun’s reflection on the side of the ship’s hull.
Maureen Elliott captured this Savannah Sparrow while on holiday in Newfoundland. She came across it at the southwestern tip of the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland in the Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve. The bird was foraging through the grass when he looked up for this lovely photo op.
This simple image of a fence line reminds me of the work of Ken Evans, who is a black and white photographer from the American Midwest. The image is by Mike MacLean, who joined the club last season. You’ll see more of his black and white images in the Flickr group by clicking on the image.
Randy O’Hara and his wife, Maureen, went on a month-long trip to the east coast this summer, where Randy captured this incredible scene at Moreton’s Harbour in Newfoundland. In his post, he tells us that Moreton’s Harbour is mentioned in the lyrics to that famous folk song, “ I’se The B’y.”
Ten years ago, Carol Harris was in Iceland and captured this dramatic sunset over the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. In her post on Flickr, she says this sunset was followed by a windy rain storm that left snow on the mountains.
If you’re puzzled by what this puzzle is about photo of, you’re not alone. Janet Hatten took this mysterious macro shot but left no hint on Flickr as to what it could possibly be. Sometimes we have to fill in our own blanks to come up with our own story, and that’s a fun aspect of photography, isn’t it?
Bob Tucker captured this image of Toronto’s CN Tower a number of years ago. At the time of posting here, I don’t know if it is a scan from a negative slide, but it has that vintage aesthetic.
As we navigate our way through some hot and humid weather, this image taken by Douglas Hart reminds us that the cold weather wasn’t that long ago. He took this at Big Bay on April 11, 2026. That’s only three months ago!
This image of an elk was captured by Juergen Trotz. He had set out to get a shot of the sunset but the clouds had other ideas. Luckily, he saw this while he was out, and although the elk is but a small portion of the frame, the vastness of the scene reminds us that there is a lot of open space in the world, even when we think we’re getting too crowded.
