Black and White pictures

Here are a few recent pictures that to me look better in black and white than they do in color.

#1 - Meenan's Cove Beach in Quispamsis.

#2 - Old house in Rothesay taken from the Kennebecasis River.

#3 & 4 - Sailboat near the RKYC in Saint John.

#5 - Three generations. Aged 92, 60 and 4 years.

Recent pictures from around here

#1 & 2 - Canada Geese at Carpenter's Pond in Rothesay.

#3 - Boats at the Rothesay Yacht Club through raindrops on my car window.

#4 - Wet Lily at Meenan's Cove.

#5 - Clouds over Meenan's Cove.

Camper - Mr. Cat to most!

Snapped this picture of Camper one evening at my friend's place.

Handheld, ISO 1600, 240 mm, 1/250 sec, F 6.3.

Brook Montage

Taken just feet from the Rothesay Sewage Treatment Plant. Beauty is everywhere even when the air is not so fresh. Montaged to engance the mood.

Sillhouette

Taken June 14th at the Rothesay Yacht Club.

REFLECTIONS

I took pictures # 1 and #2 at Meenans Cove June 21 2007.

I took pictures 3 - 6 at the Rothesay Yacht Club on June 14th.

Picture #3 is a couple walking their dog.

Photoshopped Images

I like to experiment in Photoshop now and then. Since some people like 'reworked' images and some don't I thought I would put a few of my more 'creative' images here. Viewer beware.

Here is the first. Now I have to get to making more.

Ghost Car

While photographing a sunset at Meenan's Cove the other evening I somehow managed to get this image of what appears to be a ghost car.

I like sunflower seeds too

I caught this little fellow sneaking a few sunflower seeds the other evening. Taken through a very dirty kitchen window.

1/125", F5.6, ISO 400, 300 mm.

Things are not always as they appear.

Above are two carefully focused images.

Why do they look so fuzzy you ask? At least I hope you are asking why.

Picture 1 - Taken through a curved flexible plastic window on a boat.

Picture #2 - Taken of my Flowering Crab tree on my front lawn. I was sitting on my back deck looking through two screen doors.

Beer Photography

I was completely sober when I took this picture of my back yard through a frosty glass of beer .

Model Farm Tree

I have been checking this tree from time to time as I drive along the Model Farm Road. There is a picture there, I just have to be there at the right time to get it.

Rothesay before 7 Am.

I was up quite early last Saturday morning and took these pictures at or near to the Rothesay Yacht Club.

Picture 1 and 3 have been tweaked in Photoshop.
