This article features a selection of images that capture examples of Newfoundland whimsy that we discovered during our recent visit to the province. One of the things my wife and I enjoy when doing a photography tour is finding some whimsy along the way. These creative expressions can often say a lot about the culture and attitude of the destination that is being visited.

Inverter Heat Pump
My wife and I recently had an inverter heat pump/gas furnace back-up system installed in our home. Like many people we captured some images of the installation process for posterity. This article discusses some of the factors we considered before making our purchase decision.
Bonavista Harbour

Importance of Weathersealing
The importance of weathersealing is often not fully appreciated until one faces an extended period of inclement weather. Such was the case with our recent self-drive tour of Newfoundland during which we encountered 11 out of 14 days with rain and fog.
Puffins Flying in Fog
This article features a selection of images of puffins flying in fog, which were captured handheld during our recent trip to Newfoundland. We were hoping for decent weather but unfortunately Mother Nature did not cooperate. Eleven of our fourteen days spent touring Newfoundland were dominated by fog and rain. This included our three days at Bonavista and our short duration, daily visits to the nearby Elliston puffin colony.
Red-Winged Blackbirds
This article features a selection of handheld photographs of Red-winged Blackbirds in flight… all of which were created using Pro Capture H. Red-winged Blackbirds arrive in our area of Southern Ontario in early spring. Once they have nests with eggs or chicks, Red-winged Blackbirds can become very aggressive.
Shooting Angles
Choosing shooting angles is something that all photographers face on a regular basis regardless of the subject matter they intend to capture. Shooting angles can affect a range of creative attributes in a photograph including depth-of-field, contrast, and the mood communicated by an image. This article shares some images of birds-in flight (mainly swallows) and discusses the importance of shooting angles in these images.
Catching Up In Post
Catching up in post with images we have already created can be a challenge, especially if we’ve been out with our cameras on a regular basis. The volume of unprocessed files can be daunting. In an effort to start to get myself somewhat current I’ve been spending time purging some of my April files and processing a few images. It can be interesting what one finds when catching up in post.

Camera gear choices and related costs can be intimidating to many photographers, especially those who are starting out with bird photography. For many folks, high end camera bodies and exotic lenses, are simply not practical choices.
