An Autumn Day in Cowichan

Here's a peek of my weekend shooting in the Cowichan Bay area-still a well kept secret. I drove around the corner to Genoa Bay too- a lifetime away from urban sprawl. Some eclectic float homes with unique adornments too.

I guess Fall as really arrived. Millions of leaves are starting to blanket the ground.

September 24

I'm discovering a little more about depth of field and the interplay with shutter speed. Here's a photo I took yesterday. It's funny how my own mood and energy affect my ability to focus and think about different ways of looking at a shot.

I was taking this row of candles from the left but after 20 or so shots I realized that the right side of the candles offered a more effective line of shadows.

Blank Page Syndrome

The most challenging part of starting this blog is....staring at the title screen and wondering what witty name I could come up with for the title of the blog. I took a look at the most popular words for blogs and I wanted avoid the overused descriptions that included, 'journey, story, girl, etc... so I walked away from creating this blog several times. I kept waiting for inspiration to strike. Well it didn't strike as much as 'plop'. So here it is my perspective of life in digital form.

I don't have any inclination to reveal my daily thoughts or mopes but I am hoping to find a more interactive 'one stop' online environment that is a little deeper than facebook and not as complicated and static as my own website.

With that short beginning I'm off to read.. a real book... with pages and crumpled corners.
