The Morning Halo (Photo)

February 3rd, 2007

Woke up this morning and its about -18 out.. CHILLY.. well I let my dog out to do his business when I look up (which I do often now) and spot a partial halo around the sun.. well I jumped inside and snapped a few shots and this is the one that I kept. The halo was fading fast so I had limited amount of shots and had to go with one with powerlines...not my #1 choice.. but its still a decent capture!

Camera Nikon D50: (18mm, F22, 1/125, ISO 200)

Amazing Sunset (Photo)

February 1st, 2007

Well on the way home today I had another halo present itself.. and of course on the one day I choose to not bring my camera!! (DAMN) Well either way I get home a bit upset that I missed the photo opportunity and to my amazment viola.. an amazing sunset decides to poke out. So I quickly jumped into my truck and raced to the nearest clear line of sight where I could snap a nice photo. End result is the above photo that I think turned out ok for no tripod (left that at home accidentally when I was rushing)

Camera: Nikon D50 (55mm, F29, 1/30, ISO200)

The Infamous Circumzenithal Arc! (Photo)

January 29th, 2007

Well folks... fist off... welcome to my inagural post on my new blog site and I hope you come back and check it out as I will update often! Well today after taking a few shots I lucked out and looked high in the sky to notice what at first I simply called "an upside down rainbow!" How simple and uneducated a description it was until I found out the technical term from my friend Travis (http://tfavretto.deviantart.com/gallery/) that it is indeed a Circumzenithal Arc. He then notified me that this in fact was a very rare sighting and he himself has never seen one (yes he's jealous!) Well either way I figured I should post a picture of it for all to enjoy!

Motion Falls! (Photo)

October 25th, 2006

This is my first real attempt at time lapsed photography, and its not bad but could be better. I took this photo up and old VERY rough camp road north of Desbarats Lake Ontario to where there are a pretty impressive set of waterfalls that have great photo capabilities. The terain is a bit rough, but wear some boots and enjoy the scenery and you will not be dissapointed. If you travel further up the trail you can actually hike about 2 hours into whats locally known as "Desbarats Caves" this is a cave system that is home to a Brown Bat sactuary and is very impressive. If you want more info on it you can go here: (http://johanna.wandel.ca/batcave/index.html) to Joanna Wandel's website she made the trek there and has some great photo's !!

Global Warming! (Photo)

January 4th, 2006

Well this picture was taken behind Bruce Mines Ontario off of Center Line Rd. This being early January it was shocking as hell that we have no snow in Northern Ontario!! Well believe it or not this is what it looked like that day. While taking shots at an old abandoned house my friend Travis and I stumbled upon some cool finds in the long grass. I immediately I took to this snowmachine from I have no idea what year (probably 60's or 70's) and snapped a few shots. With the bland colours at this time of the year I figured black and white would suit this picture and I must say, I am glad I went with that choice as it is one of my favorite shots!
