Pic-of-The-day December 31 | Christmas Concert pt2

Pic-of-The-day

 

 A few more photos from the Special Christmas concert at St. Mark Church (Anglican in N.O.T.L. Ontario) to celebrate the retirement of Michael Tansley as organist.


We got reserve tickets in the balcony from Michael's husband barney.  The view was great, (best seats in the house) but it made it a bit difficult to get close up shots with the gear I had, Guess I should have planned a bit better.

At the end of the day the concert was great & I got some good photos.

*As a bonus I got to say Hi to Dracula (Allan Louis who played Dracula at the Shaw festival). It's not often you run into Dracula in a church.

You can see the rest of the photos in this flickr album.

PoTd - December 30 - Christmas Concert

Pic-of-The-day

Christmas Concert at St. Marks Anglican Church in Niagara-On-The-Lake.

Here is a selection from the Special Christmas concert at St. Mark Church (Anglican in N.O.T.L. Ontario) to celebrate the retirement of Michael Tansley as organist.

I have a whole album of photos from the concert on flickr.



I wasn't really planning to shoot the concert (maybe just a snap or two)  so I didn't make any preparations or bring any gear. This left me with limited options, but all in all they turned out alright.

December 29 - McFarland House Christmas (2017)

McFarland House Christmas (2017)

 

McFarland House Christmas (c.1800) decorated for Christmas in the style that it would have been decorated in by the family that build it (or as close as possible).  2017 is the first time I've been been to McFarland House for Christmas and I really enjoyed it.

Window into Winters that where.

Pic-of-The-day

Scans of old family photos taken in the great Canadian winters of years gone by.

They are all family photos (ie not purchased).  I won't try to detail who everyone is,  as I 'm not sure about every person in every photo.

Holiday Greeting

 
Here's set of 4 personalized Christmas greeting I made for different households in my family to use a holiday greetings on social media.

They are all variations on the same format, but all have they're own twist. 

I've  been going through a wide range of tutorials to improve my skills in the Adobe suite of software.  So I took a few different elements and came up with these Christmas greetings.

If your interested,  some of the elements where created in Photoshop & the rest in After effects.  I was going to use Illustrator for some elements but found out I could do them in AE just as well, which (aside from making something cool for people) was one of the reasons to make them. So I could get some practice and learn something new.

not sure who the kids are, I assume they are relatives of some sort, but the photos where taken well before my time, so I really don't have any insight.

Merry Christmas

Pic-of-The-day - "Christmas Tree".

Christmas in the very early 70's. There's a a peddle cart on the left of the photo in the form of a horse & cart. That toy has been around as long as I can remember. Until I found this photo I never really thought of where it came from, but it wasn't a surprise it's from an early Christmas.
