A lobster trap on a deserted beach – this makes sense, doesn’t it?  But this, a bus-stop yellow bench, waiting at a beach that will never have a whole bus worth of people on it, well, this is a little out of place.  Is it fuel for a bonfire, or just the world’s least comfortable [...]

This is a small fishing village on Prince Edward Island with the scariest wooden bridge anywhere. It’s also got an industrial beauty to it, having fish shacks next to miles of dunes and beach grass.

This is Alex, a 14 year Dance Veteran, who came to us recently for his senior portraits.  It’s not uncommon for us to work with students with exceptional skills – most of the seniors who chose to come to Focus are exceptional in at least a few ways.  Anyway, when we get people with a [...]

This is an image of the Wentworth’s gorgeous ballroom ten minutes before the bride and groom (Carey and Ben) saw it.  Yes, we have images without the Wentworth staff in them, but I love having an action shot that shows what’s going on in addition to the perfect and still shots.  In this case, Jenny [...]

Honestly, I have no idea what this piece of equipment is doing here, surrounded as it is by shrubs and grasses, and filled with wildflowers. Is it a metaphor; is it an artist’s installation?  I don’t know.  But I really liked that it was parked here not fifty feet from a retail shop, in the middle [...]

This is a multi-image cross process.  The shadow sections of our image have been white balanced for the cool light of dawn, while the highlights and sky are balanced to emphasize the sky.  Lucia’s sister Nadia has a house just down the road from this farm, and I love the light patterns on the hay [...]

This is the warm sun of the late afternoon reflecting red and yellow on this multi exposure, HDR image.

This is the same bridge as yesterday’s post, but with the view of the traveller, showing the expectation as one crests a footbridge, and the really interesting light that falls onto the beams. The day after I shot this, I saw a workman removing and replacing the first two beams at the bottom here (evidently, they [...]

St. Peters Bay is known for the mussels that are raised in the harbor, and is an entry point to the Points East loop of Prince Edward Island. Here’s another example of a multi-exposure image and the fun, painted look it gives a photograph.  With a standard, single exposure the shadows below and on the [...]

Here’s a different angle of the same harbor, and I like the colors in this image much more than yesterday’s image.
