How to Grow Pumpkins on the Side of a Mountain

This is how pumpkins were being grown in Ravello, Italy.  Perhaps they
would roll down the mountain if left to grow on the ground.  What do
you think?

Lonely Gal

Last year we had a photo shoot in the front yard of the school. This is my friend and model, Lauren. Does anyone else have photos from the shoot they would be willing to share?

Photo Club Trip to Belgian Nurseries

Tulip...Beauty right to the end

Today the Photography Club took a trip to Belgian Nurseries.  We had a wonderful time taking macro shots of beautiful flowers and exotic plants.
These are few of the many photos I took.  I added the tulip photo to show that even though flowers are beautiful while they are fresh, they can also have real beauty as they finish blooming and begin to dry up.
Here's hoping some of the other members of the club post some photos as well.

Learn To Use Your DSLR Camera

                                         

As I was looking at different things on the net this morning I came across this amazing (and very easy to understand) DSLR tutorial on Kevin & Amanda's blog.  If you have your camera set to AUTO this tutorial will help you learn more about your camera and why you should take it off AUTO and experiment with other settings.
This blog also has other great photography tutorials and tips....just go to their labels and scroll down to the photography section.  It is well worth your time to check this out.
Happy shooting.

Ice Storm Beauty

Ice Storms can be devastating, but the results of an ice storm can also bring some interest to things that are no longer interesting.  In my garden I have the skeleton of silver dollar plants and at this time of year they are ugly.  The storm that we had on Friday covered these dead plants with ice beads and, as a result, gave them new beauty.

Little Red Fox

During the March Break I went to Presqu'ile Provincial Park to see what wildlife I could find.  I came across this little red fox who was fairly tame.  He sat there and let me take his photo, then he would move a bit to let me shoot him from different angles.   I saw him again the next day but he was more shy and ran into the forest.

Categories:

Smile:  Smile and the world smiles along with you.  Search among the smiles around you and photograph the ones that project true joy.     No posed shots please.

Leading Lines:  When you want to create a meaningful composition use leading lines  to draw the viewers eyes through the photo to a focal point that you want to highlight. 

Ex:  a winding road, a railroad track leading to the distance, a farm fence leading to a barn, or the gentle curve of the waters edge along the beach.)

Split Second:  Capture a high speed moment...this does not need to be sports related...think of anything that moves and make sure to have your shutter speed adjusted to stop the movement.

 Macro:  This category is especially for those who love to take super close-up photos.  Photos can portray natural or man-made subjects.

  Nature:  This category is fairly open.  Photos of wildlife, flowers, landscapes, trees, and even under water shots are welcome.

  Out of Context:  Something in the photo just doesn’t belong.  Your shot should be based on visual humour or intrigue... "how did that get there?"  (Ex:  summer sun hat in the snow, a car on the roof of a building.)

Frosty Morning

Welcome to the brand new, never before done, Woodland Photography Club blog.  This is the place where club members can share their photos, blog about them, and comment on other members' photos.  This is an exciting new venture and my hope is that many of the club members will share their photography.

I will be the first to post a photo.  This photo was taken on a beautiful Sunday morning.  Everything was covered in hoar frost and the sky was this amazing blue.
This is a photograph of a tree branch that was above my head.  I used a macro lens to get closer to the frost.
