PoTd - September 28 | Campfire weather is coming (I hope)

Pic-of-The-day

 

Pic-of-The-day - "Camp Fire".
This one is from the All Hallow's Eve  tour of  Old Fort Erie, taken back in 2010.
I'm hoping for fall weather to come soon and bring days that are great for walking and nights that are suited to standing around a fire.

Pic-of-The-day - "All Hallows Eve".

From a trip to the Old Fort Erie (National historic site) "All Hallows Eve" tour in 2010.


I've taken a few years off from this tour as each year seemed like a photo copy of the previous one.
I might give it a try this year in the hope there's something slightly new.

PoTd - September 19

Pic-of-The-day

 

Pic-of-The-day - "Orbs".

In the above "orb photos" the green spots are reflections of the candle flame bouncing around inside the camera lens. The situation is exacerbated by the very dark room with only one bright source and the lens aperture being wide open at f1.4. 

The situation is similar to people who go ghost hunting in dark places with very few light sources. Like in these examples the cameras that are straining to get a decent image and they get 'orbs' similar to the ones I got.

I wish there was more too it, but just about every 'orb photo' I've seen is a variation on,1) the above effect or 2) dust close to the lens lit by an on camera flash.

PoTd - September 15 Halloween is Here!

Pic-of-The-day

OK Halloween isn't actually here, according to most people. There are, however, people that start celebrating early.
I'm sort of one of those people.
Sort of because I won't start decorating for a while, but I'm starting to post Halloween Photos today, mostly because I have so many. Soon I'll be listening to Halloween Audio (Podcasts, Old Time Radio, libravox stuff etc.) and shortly after that It will be time to start watching the stock of Halloween movies & TV we have accumulated.

Long story short.. Halloween is almost here, but I'm starting early.

 

 Pic-of-The-day - "Around the corner".

I was working late one night in late October 2010, listening to ghost stories on my walkman. I was going out to the mail room, came around a dark corner and saw what appeared, for a second to be a child in a costume standing on the edge of the shadows.  It stopped me for a second until I realized it was a doll/decoration. So, I went back to the office to get my camera to see if I could recreate my first impression in a photo.

Pic-of-The-day

 A few old pics of a sunset at Fort Erie Race Track.

 
This Model was in the SONY booth at the vistek imaging show in Toronto. That's the day I got my new 80D, which is great , but I'm still working on making the most of it.

One of the 1st photos with my new 80D.I've been working with it & going through the manual trying to learn all the features & functions. It will take time to really learn &practice before I can make the most of it.
