Signs of Autumn
This is my contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: The Arrival of Autumn prompt.
An ideal theme for some of my recent photos taken on walks around the neighborhood.

Late Summer Maple Leaves
This is my contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Ordinary Everyday Objects prompt.
I had photographed various Maple leaves on a couple of recent walks around the neighborhood. It occurred to me that there wasn’t many things more ordinary and everyday in this part of Ontario, especially at this time of year. After all, there’s a red Maple leaf on the Canadian flag.

Flower Portraits
A selection of flower photos taken with a fast, portrait lens for shallow depth-of-field and using negative space.
Photographed on a walk on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario yesterday afternoon. I added a slight vignette to the photos when editing.

As Summer Fades
Two signs of summer coming to an end on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario yesterday morning.
This is my contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: As Summer Fades prompt.
Light trails from fishing boats on Colpoy’s Bay at dawn. Most of the fishing boats on the bay are probably competing in an annual end of summer fishing derby.
The sun rising over the Niagara Escarpment on the other side of Colpoy’s Bay. Around the summer solstice the sun rises over the mouth of the bay. As the days shorten and autumn approaches the sun starts rising progressively more to the south.
Colpoy’s Bay on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario at dawn with the new TTArtisan 7.5mm fisheye lens.
A 30 second exposure allowed for an unplanned experiment with light painting the foreground.
I keep a small flashlight (torch) clipped to the shoulder strap of my various camera bags. Once I arrive at a location I often unclip the flashlight and use it for setting up the camera in the dark.
Yesterday morning I had the flashlight in a pocket when I started the exposure so I used it to light paint the tree trunks and foreground.
I thought the photo was an appropriate contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Freestyle prompt.

Out In the Countryside
This is my contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Out In the Countryside prompt.
A small selection of photos from the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario taken over the weekend after Dale posted the prompt.
By some strange coincidence all the photos were taken with the same camera and lens combination, my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II and the TTArtisan 35mm lens.
