Fun at the Aquarium

I had some fun at the aquarium a few months ago when my wife and I accompanied our daughter and our grandchildren to a local attraction. I haven’t had many opportunities to experiment with this type of photography in the past.

Photographing Fur Babies

During a recent visit to our daughter’s home I spent a few minutes photographing fur babies. My daughter and her husband have three dogs…. Wayne, Wawa and Casper. It is sometimes a bit of a challenge to catch them remaining still for any length of time… so I made the best of the situation!

ISO-200 Forest Challenge

A good way to push our photographic skills and our camera gear is to give ourselves the occasional challenge. A little while ago I gave myself an ISO-200 forest challenge. The goal was to hike through the forest at the Niagara Glen Nature Centre on a dead calm day, and to keep my ISO at, or under, ISO-200.
