The 2024 Oamaru Christmas Parade happened to coincide with our visit to Oamaru during our recent trip to New Zealand. This article shares some of the images I captured as the Oamaru Christmas Parade progressed through the town.

Winter Lakeside Scenes with HDR2
Yesterday I drove along the southern shore of Lake Ontario and stopped at a few locations to capture some winter lakeside scenes with HDR2 (high dynamic range). There was a good amount of snow and ice along the shore of the lake, coupled with some very harsh sunlight. So, I decided to do some test images using my E-M1X’s HDR2 technology.
Live ND Creative Motion Test
This article discusses a Live ND creative motion test that I did earlier today and shares some corresponding images. Most of us who have cameras that have the Live ND feature typically use it to create ‘smooth water’ images of waterfalls and streams.
There are many other subjects where Live ND can be used to create some interesting creative motion effects. The images in this article were created at the miniature train display at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington Ontario.
Working a Scene
If time permits, working a scene can be very beneficial in terms of helping to train ourselves to look at a variety of composition options. This article features a selection of images captured at the Western Brook Pond Tour departure area. The objective is simply to illustrate how a specific subject can be incorporated into a composition in a number of different ways. All of the images featured in this article were captured with the M.Zuiko PRO 12-100 mm f/4 IS zoom.
Twillingate Visit
This article shares some images captured in the Twillingate area of Newfoundland during our recent self-drive photography tour. All of the photographs in this article were captured with the M.Zuiko PRO 12-100 f/4 IS zoom.
One of the primary objectives of our visit was to view icebergs and participate in a boat tour. We also explored some of the surrounding area and had a noteworthy stay at the Viking Vacation Home. As regular readers know, over the past nine years or so we have only highlighted accommodations on two other occasions on this website. More on that at the end of this article.
Western Brook Pond
This article shares a selection of photographs from our Western Brook Pond Boat Tour experience during our visit to Newfoundland earlier this year. Since we went quite early in the season, Bontours offered only one sailing per day at 12:30 PM.
Photographing Icebergs
Seeing and photographing icebergs was one of the experiences on the top of my wife’s wish list when we recently visited Newfoundland. This article shares some of our images and discusses a few things to keep in mind when photographing icebergs.
