Old shots revisited

No time to actually shoot new material drives me to revisit older shots from way back when.

Fishing tested, Mother approved

Where I'm from the May long weekend usually brings to mind one thing. Fishing.



Opening weekend for pickerel (walleye) has always been one of my favorite occasions; the weeks (and months) before hand spent planning and buying new hooks and line to make sure that dinner is put on the table.
This May long was no different as we headed out to one of our favorite local hot spots to try our luck. As luck would have it, we made out good and I spent 4 our of 5 nights out on the lake until the early morning hours.

When there's a lull in the fishing I always make sure the camera is handy too. Here's a few shots from the opening weekend for pickerel season in Northwestern Ontario... enjoy!

Timing is everything

Due to circumstances beyond my control I almost missed an extraordinary sunset the other night.
Lucky for me I was able to make the best of a bad situation and improvise a bit.

This shot was taken from my bedroom window and the huge birch tree (although obstructing my view) provided for a great silhouette shot and quite a decent desktop background. Help yourself, it's fullsize.
