We went out exploring the area Yesterday. The area we chose was still in colour but a bit more spotty than expected. This is a more intimate shot in a wooded area off of the road to Wesport.. We spotted the scene and a few minutes later, the sun came and lit it for us, couldn’t have planned it any better. Sometimes it works according to plan.

Lately I’ve been exploring the use of black and white in my concert photography. it has been said that photographing in black and white is photographing the soul of the person. There is certainly something about a good black and white that just looks great. Hue and colour all of a sudden mean nothing, you are dealing with tonality and composition, nothing else. I’m really liking the experience, it is making me look at photographs differently.

The photo this week isn’t terribly recent, but it was something I was working on today. I made this photo about a year ago in Parc Omega in Quebec. A very interesting place to visit.I’m always trying different approaches to editing and this is just one of those shots.

Since I switched to Nikon a few years ago, I have missed having a second body to set up another lens. I fixed that recently, I got a really good deal on another body for this purpose.Thia particular body was reported to be extremely well known for high ISO/Low Noise and by looking at my tests thus far, I think it’s better for noise than my D810! What did I get? a D750. The photo below was made at 12,800 ISO and is plenty usable. I applied a little noise reduction but it’s fairly clean considering.

This image was made in Nova Scotia on the “Eastern Shore”. I love shooting moving water because you can play with the shutter and put your own mark on it. I don’t like when the exposure on the moving water goes too smooth, it just looks wrong in my mind. I like it just slow enough to show some movement. This was at .6 of a second and I really think this worked just right. The affect of movement is good while still showing detail.
