    The sun was going down and the heat was lessening. The cool of the evening was setting in and that changed the feel of the whole atmosphere. I smiled as the cool evening breeze kissed my face delightfully. The sun was setting. My attention was grabbed by the loud speaker, announcing the next contestant. Squinting in the light, I turned my attention to the arena. With the setting sun lazily giving off its last rays, the perfect setting had arrived. I had been anxious to practice my photography--

    I was driving down highway 3 to do some filming of a terrible accident that required stars to airlift the injured to the hospital. On my way back I noticed this old car in a field amongst three other vehicles rusting away to a beautiful prairie sunset. The time I took to shoot this scenery helped me unwind from the terrible images I had just witnessed. Near Starbuck, Manitoba.This was taken using a Samsung cellphone and only the exposure was edited to bring out the vehicle's appearance.

    Now that I'm retired I have taken up photography as a hobby to explore the many things around us that we all take for granted. I recently purchased a Canon EOS R7 camera and a Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens and was out at Lockport Mb photographing the American White Pelican and Ring Billed Gull. I was pleasantly surprised with the results as this was the first time I was trying out the Auto Focus Animal Tracking feature of the camera. I've just recently started trying my hand at photogr

    This shot was taken on my first day into this trip. My wife and I decided to spend Labor Day weekend in the mountains which was wonderful but also very busy which isn't the best for wildlife photography. However, I did come away with some good shots from my outing (mostly landscape) and this is by far one of my favorite. I love how the light is striking the deer's face while he is mostly shrouded in shadow. I took this with a Nikon 200-500mm @ 500, 1/160s, ISO 100 and f6.3. I shot this across th

    Was out looking for anything to photograph on one my few days off from work. So I went to the plot of land where I deer hunt. Any wild flower that may still be in bloom, insects, things like that. Tons of grasshoppers everywhere and I came across this fella. I didn't realize he possibly had a wounded left wing until I processed the photos. No wonder he sat thru many different angles, exposures, and me getting up in his face and didn't offer to fly off. LOL

    I saw the sky start to get some color after looking too overcast. I grabbed my gear and went down to the road behind where I live. I had gotten a few shots of the headlights going the other way and it was too much of a contrast with the sky. I got set up, with the camera low to the ground and got a couple test shots. Then shot this at 5 seconds.
