Still Life
Large Boulder: ISO 200, 29mm, f/6.3 1/60
I found the textures and colours on this rock to be interesting. It also looked out of place in the Alberta Badlands where I found it.

The Feast: ISO 640, 40mm, f/8.0 1/30
The Feast Part II - Cheers!!: ISO 640, 40mm, f/8.0, 1/80
It was a cold and snowy day today. I planned on playing with my camera and venture out today but it was too cold with windchill putting the temps at around -20 Celsius.
So, I broke out my newly purchased backgrounds and set up my lights. Then I grabbed a few Lego Mini Figures to practice my skills.
I was listening to Google Play Music service while I was setting up the King and his friend the pig. Led Zeppelin was playing “Your Time is Gonna Come” while I was setting up Part Two of the shot. Coincidence? Are the pigs going to get their revenge? Or are they just going to put a scare in the King?
Backgrounds are blank painting canvas that I purchased on sale at the local craft store. I used 2 sets of lights. Led Camera Video Lights and a small LED desk lamp. I also shot this in front of our patio door to let in some natural light.

Red Deer Easter Bunny: ISO 200, 24mm, f/5.6 1/400
The weather in Red Deer is finally warming up and starting to feel like spring. I took a walk yesterday to enjoy the sunshine.
With Easter around the corner I decided to walk by the Red Deer Public Transit terminal to take a shot of the Brick Bunny. As you can see he is trying to warm up from the long, cold winter. The snow should melt off his body in the next few days which would be in time for him to hide the Easter Eggs.
Bottle of Coca Cola: ISO 800, 23mm, f/7.1, 1/50
Looking Down on a Bottle of Coke: ISO 800, 35mm, f/7.1, 1/30
To my regular visitors, I am sorry about the lack of updates recently. Work has taken over my life this past month.
I missed my camera and thought I would play around with my it to get my creative juices flowing again. The above two images are not the normal subject matter posted on my blog but I found this bottle interesting for a number of reasons. First, the signature Coca Cola shape. Second, the colours of the bottle itself and the iconic red.
Hopefully this is the start of my inspiration and getting me motivated to post more regularly.

Bowl of Raspberries: ISO 200, 35mm, f/3.5, 1/500
So far this summer we have had a couple of weeks of very warm weather. The raspberries in our backyard garden have ripened overnight. I picked these tonight and I could have filled another two containers this size.
After posting this entry I will be grabbing the ice cream. Bon Appetit!!

Shovel at Sunrise: ISO 400, 50mm, f/6.3, 1/30
Took this a couple of mornings ago. Sun was over the horizon and breaking through our neighbour's trees.
This is a Virginia Creeper surrounding a shovel. We have been using the shovel to dig up fresh potatoes.
