Krakow, Poland

Our next stop was Krakow, Poland.  A wonderful old city.  As a tourist it seems like a magical place and I wanted to spend more time there.  No need to mention how good the pierogies were.

Berlin

In September, we started our vacation by visiting Berlin, Germany.  Everywhere we turned we were questioning whether we were in the old East or West Berlin.  Berlin was the surprising union of history and modern buildings (Sony Centre).  Our first night we spent dining with the other 11 members of our tour.  Then instead of catching up on our lack of sleep, we walked around shooting historical buildings at night with June who is a great photographer and was trying her hand at mastering her iPhone's camera.

A Shoot with Lindsay Whitham

A Facebook group I belong to organized this evening/night shoot with Lindsay Whitham.  She was a great person to work with while our group blinded her with multiple flashes per camera (paparazzi style).  The shoot was all about trying out new things and practicing techniques.

Cottage in August (3rd Milky Way shot of the summer)

Spent a week then another weekend at Six Mile Lake in August.  Was a photographically productive time, I think. 

Ana G

It's great when you get a chance to help out and end up taking photos too. 

Milky Way at the Cottage in July

Workshops

A friend & I went to a photo workshop weekend in late July.  Captured a couple of shots that I think are kind of interesting.

Rieve Farm

Typically one of my favourite locations.  However this Sunday morning was rainy and wet.  Found this relics buried in the tall grasses..

Home County Festival

Always fun shooting concerts - lights and energy.

Port Burwell at Night

Now I've taken photo's in lots of strange places and of strange things.  Shooting the Milky Way from the north shore of Lake Erie looking south towards Ashtabula is not what I would have considered a smart spend of time.  But you be the judge.  The Milky Way was shot at about 11:00 pm in mid-June.  Captured it before the clouds rolled in.  We stayed there shooting until about 2:00 am.

Lindi Ortega

Another great concert at the Aeolian Hall in London.  This time Lindi Ortega with guest Mike Plume.  Both seemed to have some very dark mood lighting happening throughout their shows.

Second week of Swans

Second Saturday early evening, in a row.  This time there was more Tundra Swans, lots of sunshine and just as cold as the week before.  This time I got the golden shot.  Late sunset golden rays on the white swans.
