4. A Bugs World

Ahh, a category near and dear to my own heart. We all know how much I love the macro photography - if there is bug around I will chase it with my camera lens!

This little guy was also holding on for dear life as we tacked and tilted from side to side on the boat.

3. Fear

So for this category I was sure I would get a good fearful pictures of Jerrica on the boat - but little did I know that everytime she was scared, I was too. So to say the least I missed almost every opportunity because I felt as if I needed both hands to keep myself out of the water.

The above picture was taken just as we were leaning about to tack (a fun yet fearful experience to say the least).

Near the end of the trip I tried to make Jerrica fearful - was successful but she knew what I was doing and wouldn't give into me too much.

Though it did make for some good laughs, so it was worth it.

2. Raindrops

To be honest - I have no pictures of raindrops from the cottage trip. I do have a picture of a rainbow, which is made from light going through raindrops...does that count?
Yeah, I didn't think so either, but it was worth a shot.

1. Dirty Feet

I have a couple different ideas for this category - the most obvious one is the first:

This is Chris' foot after walking up from the lake - covered in the beautiful soft sand of the beaches of Lake Erie.

Another is this one:

A dog's footprint in the sand.

The third is along the same lines as the second one - it just turned out a little different:This is my footprint but for some reason it looks more like it is raised when in actuality it is a depression.

Cottage Assignment

Once again this year I spent the August long weekend at my friend's family cottage. I love it there - it's peaceful being away from the stress of my city life.

This year, as last, family friends were also at the cottage and one of them gave me a list of moments to capture with my new camera. I was very excited about this list and only know have gotten around to posting it here. The list follows, but my goal is to post as many of these pictures from the cottage trip as possible - though I don't think I got them all.

1. Dirty feet
2. Raindrops
3. Fear

A Long Time Coming

So updates and recent pictures have been a long time coming for this site as well as my DeviantArt site. I have taken many new pictures - just haven't had the time to put them up anywhere. I am hoping to get around to that to some degree at least now and in the coming days.

Advancing my Skills

I just registered in a night course at Algonquin College for photography to advance my skills.

I have been wanting to take night courses in photography for quite some time now - since I took a traditional film course in high school through St. Lawrence College in Brockville. Well, now that I am have graduated from the Environmental Engineering program at Carleton University, I will finally have the time I need to devote to my passion - photography. I can't wait until classes start September 10th!
