This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Water.
Having been living and photographing around water for decades I decided to go with a small selection of my favourites.
Storm clouds and light beams over Loch Arkaig, Scotland.
American Avocets feeding on a slough near Punnichy, Saskatchewan, Canada.
A wave and ripples on Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada at dawn.
This is my contribution to Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere #28 Photo Challenge.
Simply a wave and ripples on the Lake Huron shoreline at dawn photographed at the Long Dock in Southampton, Ontario.
This is my contribution to day 17 of Becky’s Square Tops: April photo challenge.
A wave breaking over a rock on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton.
This is my contribution to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Words that end in “ock”
I had a few ideas for this challenge and actually went out and took some shots I thought may work for one of the ideas. Then I changed my plans for the post completely.
Living on a limestone peninsula where the bedrock is exposed in lots of locations I thought about rock. There are boulders all around the area and I thought about some of them in the water along the Lake Huron shoreline.
A slow shutter speed allows the wave to blur as it hits the rock.
A fast shutter speed freezes the water in mid air as a wave breaks over a rock.
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Liquids.
Liquid turning into solid at sunrise as waves form icicles on the Colpoy’s Bay shoreline on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada.
A Common Swift feeding on insects over the surface of Hurleston Reservoir near Nantwich, Cheshire, England. This is a young bird by the brown body. It was one of around a dozen birds feeding over the water surface.
Half a cup of coffee. This is the third version of half a cup of coffee I have used in blog posts using two different cups of coffee and three different lenses. This version was photographed with the 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens.
A Ring-billed Gull feeding in the surf on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada. The Ring-billed Gulls will often feed in the surf, either standing on shoreline or patrolling up and down watching for anything edible that gets washed up.
One image came to mind almost instantly when I read Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Moving Water prompt.
It was this image of a wave on the Georgian Bay shoreline taken at sunrise. The colour original on Kodachrome has been giving me grief since I did the first scan of it. Multiple scans and copies later it’s still giving me grief. If I get the colour of the wave looking correct the stones look wrong and vice versa. So I decided to try a selective colour treatment, converting most of the image to monochrome apart from a handful of the pebbles.
A different wave from the same location. I did a straight monochrome conversion of this shot trying to maintain the sense of movement in the water.
