Have always liked this photo from Scotland. Someday I will return.

The pandemic has made a mess out of the music business as we all know but it is starting to come back now and I have had the opportunity to shoot a few full concerts recently. Alan Doyle is always a good time with his authentic Newfoundland music and world class band, The Beautiful Beautiful Band. The Grand Theatre in Kingston has seats right to the stage so there is no pit. We have to shoot from places where we are not getting in the way of paying customers. I was tucked into a corner way off to the side, out of the way but Alan still found me and connected with my lens.

I’m not a religious person but for some reason I find myself drawn to the architecture of old churches. They are unique buildings and they are no longer made like they used to be. Modern churches just don’t have the character they used to have. Many rural places in Canada have great churches to photograph. The Canadian Maritimes have many and from time to time when I have found one in good conditions, I sometimes photograph them.

Awhile back I took a series of images of these mushrooms in Frontenac Park. I entered one of the series in a club competition. I recieved a Judge’s comment mentioning the clutter on the forest floor around them and a crop problem as well. As an experiment, I cropped this to as tight as I could and darkened the remainder of the background so to pop the mushrooms much more in the frame. I’ll let you be the judge as to whether that judge was correct or not. Is that the Mario Brothers theme song I hear?

As I’ve been learning more about Photoshop, I find a lot of enjoyment in using it for more creative images than just routine editing. This is the second image I’ve done that was inspired by Wayne Fisher. The editing technique combined with an interesting perspective can make for a very dramatic and powerful image.
