Day 4 of my vacation

I didn't have time on Wednesday to visit one of my favourite government wharves, the one in West Berlin. This little treasure always looks a bit different each time I come here, colors abound and low tide affords the opportunity to capture some wildlife.

Day 3 of my vacation

I patiently wait for my D40 to arrive, I am having a blast with the D80. It soon will be a year since I took the plunge and bought a DSLR system, that was just the start. I now have two cameras, three lenses and three flashes. The D80 has taken over 17,000 files in that time span, the D40 about 8000. Stay clear of this hobby unless you don't mind living off scraps.

I came across what appeared to be a burned out section of forest as I left Hunts Point, the long-ago fire is now giving way to new growth, including a lot of ferns that have already turned color.

Day 2 of my vacation

Most of my Tuesday was spent reloading software after a Windows re-install, a corrupt download file messed up the old desktop. Anyway, after some finagling and an doubling of RAM, we are back in business.

I had to deliver some aerial photos to a client last night, I stumbled across some amazing late-evening cloud formations. D80 and 16-85mm VR.

Day 1 of my vacation

It's nice not having to be at any particular place at a certain time, just free as a bird. I decided to bop out to Ross Farm this morning, I always come away from there with something worthwhile. Of course, it's not quite full-blown autumn and its glorious color, my next visit should capture that, as long as the wind/rain doesn't ruin those plans..........

Rod and Gun Cub

One of my new favoruite watering holes for early-morning images is by the LaHave River as you access it by entering the Rod and Gun Club parking lot. It seems this is where the fog and water meet.

Still waiting for my D40...........

I stupidly tried to clean the focusing screen on my D40 and ended up damaging it. I have now learned both how expensive and slow Nikon Canada is with regards to repairs. Meanwhile, I just have to make do with the D80 for my early-morning drives to work.

Boats in Mahone Bay

During the good-weather months, there is no shortage of marine craft floating in the harbour at Mahone Bay. I was waiting to go to a wedding rehearsal, I had time to kill, sometimes restlessness is rewarded.
