Horton Street approaching Springbank Drive

After getting the shot in the park (see yesterday's post), I returned to Horton Street to await the return of my wife with the car. There was a street sign beside the roadway that I could use as an improvised monopod. With my little camera it is best to refrain from shooting at the high ISO settings, the images get grainy or noisy. I prefer to support the camera, accept the motion blur, and shoot at the usual 50 ISO. It works for me.

An August Morning

My wife and I had to be in Ancaster by 8:30 a.m. It was already past seven as we headed south on Colonel Talbot for the 402. But running late or not, when I saw the mist hanging over the field at Southfield Road I had to pull over. This was just the first of many chances to take a fine photo but after shooting this one, there simply was no time. Too bad.

Cheers,
Rockinon

Misty London Morning

This horse is a Londoner living in a southwestern suburb of London, but not, as you might expect, on the edge of the city. Heading south by car, it takes me ten minutes to get out of London, and this horse and others are but a short walk from my home. The way they draw the city boundary on maps today gives a whole new perspective on urban sprawl.

Worth Rising With the Sun

Photo tip: patience and planning make for better photography.
I've admired this twisted tree many times, but with my little point and shoot camera there was no way to do it justice - everything would be too sharp. It needed a little fog to make it pop. Sunday morning, rising early, glancing out our front door sidelights, I saw fog, thick fog. I immediately thought of this tree. I grabbed my Canon SD10 and headed for Springbank Park. In the fog, I couldn't find the tree but a couple of helpful joggers pointed me in the right direction. The result made it all worthwhile. Cheers, Rockin' On.
