Recent reflections

From a walk in Fish Creek last week. There was no wind so I had high hopes for reflection photos. Stupid ducks. I had to wait for them to go somewhere else. It was a lovely day for a walk, and at one point I found myself well off the beaten path. I wasn't lost, but the almost path I was on petered out and I didn't want to go back. A bit of bushwhacking, and a wade across the creek, and I was back on track again.

I've been meaning to organize a walk through the creek, but scheduling is more complicated than you'd think for a retired guy. Still trying, and will keep those who've expressed an interested posted.

There were a few film photos collected along the way, but I won't see those for a while. I'm about half way through that roll. I'm not sure what I was thinking to carry both a film and digital camera, especially since I only had one strap, and was using a big lens on one of them. It doesn't matter which, the lens fits both cameras.

Most of the time I can tell myself to carry just one camera with one lens, and if I'm doing an event, then it's two lenses, a 70-200 and a 24-105. Now there's a 50 mm that I might take along for indoor events, it being f1.8 and all. I took just the big film camera out for a walk yesterday along with Bow river, but didn't see anything for it.

There is lots of evidence of beavers, but I've never seen one, other than a glimpse of a nose, let alone got a nice photo of one. Maybe I should do some research to discover when beavers are out doing their thing, and try to find one then.

Of the Day

Driftwood (NZ)

I think this one looks a bit like a map.

Driftwood (BC)

Peony

Flower

Yukon, a Tombstone reflection.

Film (new)

I'm still working on how flowers appear on the various films. This is Kodak Gold 200. The blue of the vase, and yellow of the flower are pretty close, but the stone siding seems a bit washed out.

Film (old) Sebastian and Nefertitti. I seem to remember me being involved in making the cat food, and them being interested.
