First of my photos from the Worldwide Photowalk for 2013. This was early on in the walk as we were walking around the row houses. This old run down blue house was across the street and I just about to start taking photos when I saw this guy in a blue hoodie striding into shot. Something about the way he looked and walked caught my attention and I was able to get a couple of shots as he passed quickly in front of the house, this was the best of them.
I’ve been quiet again, busy period of time but here is another photograph from our trip out of town. This is from Salvage, one of my favourite little communities that I’ve visited in Newfoundland.
I should have some more photos to post soon, I’m off to the Scott Kelby World Photowalk in St John’s in a couple of hours. Weather is a bit bad but I think it should still be going ahead, I might learn of some great spots to take photographs around the city I now live in.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks here again with work, processing the photographs from Carla and Brian’s wedding and training our dog but we managed to get away for a few days our to our favourite weekend break spot, Port Blandford. We try to get out there every year and try to stay in the same cabins. Usually it’s used as a base for visiting other town and communities in the area such as Trinity but this year we had very bad weather so I spent some time in Port Blandford itself taking photographs. This photo was taken from a metal rural bridge that I’ll try to post a picture of later.
A couple of weekends ago Lauren and I were entrusted with taking the wedding photos for two of our good friends here in Newfoundland. Carla and Brian had asked us to take their photos and despite some inner fears we agreed. It was a great day, not only for the happy couple but for us too. We had shot a wedding back in Ireland some years ago so it wasn’t completely new (Lauren had shot some prior to that as well, she studied photography and journalism in college) but there was still lots to learn and new techniques to master. We did ok I think, at least the couple seem to like the photos we have sent them so far, there are many many more are to be processed but I’ll get through them soon.
More after the break
Here is a photo of what I believe is Kelleys Island from Topsail beach in Newfoundland. I’m not sure about the name of the island, it’s a small little island beside Bell Island and Google maps tells me it’s Kelleys Island but I’ve also seen it listed as Kelly’s Island so forgive me if I’m wrong.
Here is a photo of St John’s harbour taken from half way down Signal Hill. It’s a long exposure but only 15 seconds to smooth things out a little.
