FJ Cruiser Light Painting - Final Version

Painting With Light Trial - FJ Cruiser

I thought I'd give light painting a try so I shot 34 photos of the FJ in Elora, before giving up due to a weak flashlight. After blending the photos, I can see how satisfying the technique can be. I will definitely do some more of this!

I took advantage of some nicely lit buildings and the sunset to create these photos which include the Wellington County Museum.

March Trip to Cayo Costa Florida

In March we made another trip to Cayo Costa. Of particular  interest this year was the moon's closest proximity to the earth in over 100 years. We got some nice shots on the beach in the moonlight.

I just received a new 8mm Fisheye lens and took a few photos around Elora as a test run. It is a lot of fun and opens up many new opportunities for compositions. Here are some samples:
