    The course was just what I needed to get me started with a new passion. The instructor Stacey was great to work with. Stacey was clear, helpful and had a lot of knowledge. We had a good morning at Shearwater Lake and touched on the creative side of Photography as well as the some of the technical side. I would highly recommend Stacey as an instructor and the course for anyone who wants to take there pictures to another level. All I need to do now is practice.

    I love nothing more than being outside with my camera immersed in nature. I am happiest when photographing wildlife, especially birds. But I also enjoy photographing our insects, and often enjoy starting the day at sunrise, walking amongst the grasses, looking for macro subjects.

    A new location for me to practice even though I've lived nearby for 20 years. A great location and highly recommended. This photo was taken a week ago when I was practicing with an ultra wide angle lens. A new discovery for me. I was walking around the far end of the lake and came across the family of Canadian geese enjoying the sun and relaxing.

    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through
