Exodus

 
Volunteers & Venders leaving the site on Monday morning. Festival vendor would be one of my dream jobs. Traveling from festival to festival all summer, making art & meeting people. It's a dream job, because I've spoken to enough vendors to know it doesn't really work that way.

Spring DOF

Spring Depth of Field, taken at Dufferen Islands

More Playing with a cannon 50mm 1.8 manual lens & a 70D.  I feel like I'm getting better images with this combination.
I'm still hoping to do a motion piece with this combo before the end of the summer. I have some footage (from Dufferen Islands) but not enough to put together a proper motion piece/video.

Vintage Bokeh

More Playing with a cannon 50mm 1.8 manual lens & a 70D.  In certain situations it seems to create nice creamy bokeh & with some practice you can get some reasonable sharpness on the main subject.

After Summerfolk weekend, coffee is a must.

Kearah at Breakfast. Breakfast at the (Harrison Park) Inn on the Monday after Summerfolk, has become a tradition. We always say we're going to get down to the Inn first thing in the morning & get an early staert on the trip home. Usually we are lucky to get down to breakfast at noon.

Crayons for Kearah

Dandelion

Shot with a cannon 50mm 1.8 manual lens & a 70D. The lens imparts a bit of warmth to images that I think works well this this one.

Extreme Dream

  


I have been feeling like  I've been gaining a bit more control over this combination (cannon 50mm 1.8  FD manual lens/70D) but,  for this scene nothing I tried got rid of the glow/bloom/dreamy look, so I stopped trying to swim up stream & go with what I was getting.

Rock & Water

I like this one, but I can't really explain why. There's the almost blown out blacks, a strong vignette, (both in camera) & the slight shimmer in the water. Those are all interesting, but there's something about the way they work together that I like more than the separate elements

Goodnight Irene, the finale that can't be beat. 

 The finale that can't be beat. 

The Piper. The piper processes in at the beginning of the festival. which I has heard from the line but never actually seen. At the end he processes (recesses?) out after the finale with all the volunteers and performers on stage following him through the audience.  Lately we have been getting a spot along his path so they all pass right by us.  We get a few high fives & hand shakes as they pass by.  Then we gather our stuff & head back the campground, fully intending to sit around the campfire late into the night. The long Days and short nights that came before usually means that one by one we slip off to our tents or nod off by the fire well before we had planned.

With trees

More Playing with a cannon 50mm 1.8 manual lens & a 70D.  This lens likes to put a glow on bright objects, so white trees needed a bit of work to get right.
  

Vintage Colour

I went for a 70's colour look with one with out going overboard.
I have a tendency to be a little enthusiastic with my colouring, so let me know  if I've gone overboard with this one.
