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.
We went for a couple of drives this weekend to the small communities close to St John’s. They aren’t that far from the city at all, in fact in Dublin they would be called commuter towns but they are very different from the city itself. This is Flatrock, a town just past Torbay.
I’m still in panoramic mood, especially with the snow on the ground. I figure I’ll keep trying to get panos around the area until the snow goes and then I’ll switch to something different for a while.
Here is another photo from the trip down to Quidi Vidi. This one is another pano and even wider.
I did think twice about posting this since it’s so long and wont look good on a blog but we are in the middle of house hunting and while viewing a house I saw a panoramic that was 2 to 3 time longer than this one and hung on the wall in a hallway. It made me think that this photo isnt too long at all and in fact if we did end up buying that house or one with a similar hallway I might replace the old pano, which I’m sure the current owners would take with them, with this one like this. Regardless of what house we buy I’m going print out some of my photos and hang them on the walls.
We went out last Sunday after a fresh fall of snow to spend some time down in Quidi Vidi. Quidi Vidi is one of my favourite parts of St Johns yet I spend very little time down there. Some of the best photos from our wedding were taken down there in the Inn of Olde where the bridal party relaxed between the ceremony and the reception.
I’m back to trying out panoramics. Last weekend turned out a little better than the Torbay photos but I still need more practice. My new tripod is working out a treat though, for starters I can put the camera into portrait orientation which is better for large panoramics.
Here is a photo to go with the last one, this time from the other side of Cabot Tower so it shows the Christmas Star that was put on it for the holidays.
