From there to here, from here to there, Funny things are everywhere
So I’m kneeling at the edge of the tulip bed in a skirt with my iPhone, trying to frame this shot without exposing my netherbits to the spring sunshine and I’m aware of the dude who has come up behind me with a tripod and ginormous lens but I’m almost done and I’ll soon be … Continue reading “Photo of the day: Amateur tulips”
I had a lot of fun with this image in Lightroom and Photoshop. Not every photo needs serious post-processing, but sometimes it’s fun to push the boundaries a bit and see what happens. I’ve also had fun teaching myself both how to see problem areas I might not have recognized before AND the digital ‘chops’ … Continue reading “Photo of the Day: Tulips and towers and a turbulent sky”
The tulips are awake! Found this shot with my iPhone on the way back to my office after a meeting – the Chateau Laurier screened through some purty red tulips.
Five years ago, I got some of my favourite photographs of Parliament Hill, as seen over the tulip beds behind the Canadian Museum of History. Though I’ve taken many, many, MANY photos of the tulips and the Parliament Buildings since then, I thought this would be a good year to go back and revisit those … Continue reading “A tulip story”
Wow! 2014 was an amazingly photogenic year. I could easily post 50 favourite photos just from our trip to Prince Edward Island alone (yes, I know, I’m on about PEI again – I never really stop thinking about it!) or 50 favourite photos of fun family adventures with the boys. I probably even have 50 … Continue reading “(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday: 50 favourite photos from 2014”
I seem to spend a lot of my time these days crawling around on my belly with my camera, chasing tulips and dandelions and dewdrops. I desaturated the green in this quite a bit to emphasize the shapes more than the colour, and to make the yellow of the dandelion head pop a bit more. … Continue reading “Photo of the day: Dandelion sleeping in the dew”
As you might (or might not?) have noticed, I’ve fallen out of the habit of posting my weekly photo round-ups. That may or may not be related to the fact that I have fallen out of the habit of taking and posting a new photo every day. I’m feeling inspired again now that the Endless … Continue reading “Photo of the Day: Tulip Time!”
I was going to post my top 10 favourite photos from 2013, but I couldn’t get it whittled down to anything close to that. Oy, if there was ever a girl in need of an editor, it’s me! Oh well, it’s my blog and pixels are free, right? Heh, just be glad I didn’t post … Continue reading “(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday: 50 favourite photos from 2013”
Although I post them fairly regularly on Flickr as I find them, I don’t think I’ve ever written a blog post to show you some of the fun and quirky uses I’ve found for the photos I’ve licensed through Getty Images over the last couple of years. Some are lovely, some are delightful and some … Continue reading “Found in the Wild”
Tulips, kids, fuzzy puppies – talk about an easy week for taking pictures! Do you even need a narrative for this? First there was one silly kid on a stump. Then there were three silly kids on some steps with a puppy. Then the puppy rolled around in some flowers. Oh, did someone say flowers? … Continue reading “This week in pictures: Love letters to spring”
