Rain at last

For those that were wondering, I pushed the big orange publish button on the Newfoundland book the other day. No delivery date yet. Can't wait.

The next book is already in progress, and has been since earlier this year. This one is capturing my best film long exposure photos. I'm up to 12 images so far, in a smaller book. The current title is, "The untitled film project." Imaginative, I know. There is no cover image yet. I'll have to think about that. Maybe I'll take a nice image of the GW690 that captured all the images in the book.

It also occurred to me that I hadn't done a book about the Vancouver Island trip last year. I'm not sure why not. At this very moment I'm not even sure how many photos there are to work with.

Since it's a rainy day, and we sure needed it, maybe I'll work on both of them. This is the first real rain we've had since we got back, and yesterday was the first time I've cut the lawn since getting home. It's been about a month since the lawn service guy did it while we were gone. The lawn was getting getting pretty brown.

In an update from the Borg, I had a hearing test the other day. My hearing has not changed in any significant way now for about a decade, which is good. Still deaf in the frequencies of Linda's voice. (badadump!) It's the higher frequencies I can't hear. They did a hearing aid tuneup and I'm back in business. It's much nicer watching videos on the computer via hearing aids rather than the wired earbuds.

Here's a few more from a recent trip to Waterton Park with Sean.

1. We had some lovely mist and fog on the drive down, and stopped several times.

2. As always, I'm enraptured by driftwood.

3. The other post with photos from this trip had some intentional camera movement that I think was more interesting than this one, but then, I wouldn't have got that one, without this one.

4. Cameron Lake.

5. There was a forest fire recently, and the regrowth amid the partially burnt dead trees has some possibilities.

6. One of the Lundbreck Falls, from the observation area at 1/13 of a second to get some water texture. The film photos were the main focus of my attention.

7. The other.

One of the things I thought about was to capture photos of the red chairs and their view, and perhaps that would make it into the book. That turned out not to be as interesting an idea as I first thought, mainly because it's been done to death.
