A break in the rain gave me a chance to explore with the #lensbaby for a bit

How mindful photography brought me back from the brink Paul Sanders' latest book, Still, is a moving account of how his mindful approach led to healing and ultimately, more satisfying image making

I know a lot of photographers have used their craft as part of their own healing process. Have a read, see if it resonates like it did with me. Thanks @jaycee-visionlogic.eurosky.social for sharing it with me

A small meandering river comes around a bend in the forest with the shore covered in new ferns just coming up in spring time.

It's #ForestFriday and #Scape day!

Goodnight
Another wonderful day comes to a close, as the sun slips down over the Olympic Mountains.

April showers and all that jazz. I just love the water 💦

Vertical capture of Taughannock Falls in upper New York state. The falls is in the top third of the image, with the silky texture of a long exposure. A very shallow stream leads into the foreground with many rocks visually leading to the cataract itself.

#Taughannock Falls in NY state has a spectacular drop of 66 meters, and is one of the highest waterfalls east of the Rocky Mountains #WaterfallWednesday

A snow covered and backlit mountain peak stands prominently against a background of layered mountain ranges with an orange sun rising in the distance.

Week 14 of #52frames is "what is it?", so I'm afraid I can't say anymore 🤐 🤫 😂

I almost forgot it's #caturday! Nixie was feeling pretty chill up on her perch yesterday.

Shot yesterday in Buckhorn. An opening in the trees with stairs leading to the road above #lensbaby

Using the #lensbaby (almost) wide open is where it shines with that "velvet" smooth blur. #ECKartcollective #EastCoastKin #G+Circle #ArcanumAlumni #photography #CanadianPhotographer #portraitphotography

An absolutely glorious day took us to Buckhorn Ont. I took the #lensbaby out for a spin.

The dying days of winter as spring starts to come alive.

I've been trying to do creative things this week, but a migraine is keeping me feeling a bit dull. Maybe I'll be to use the brushes for more than just photos some day soon #ECKartcollective #EastCoastKin #G+Circle #ArcanumAlumni #photography #CanadianPhotographer #classicmono #macrophotography

Week 13 is #highkey for #52frames. Nixie sitting in the window was the purrfect shot

a bit bothered by the brightness of the light, but hell, it's not easy creating evening glow inside 😂. This is 1 of 2 "ok" shots of the many dozens that I took during my first attempt with this #lensbaby #ECKartcollective #EastCoastKin #G+Circle #ArcanumAlumni #photography #CanadianPhotographer

A Washington State Ferry crossing Puget Sound at sunrise with the Olympic Mountains in the background.

Getting a fresh start out in Seattle after many years away. I so missed this place, with its peaceful waters and majestic mountains.

Took the #lensbaby for a spin today. In studio of course, because it's March in Ontario (iykyk 😉) Challenging and fun and completely engrossing. Just what I've been needing 🙌🏻

Been having issues posting from my pc so lets see how this goes 🤞🏻 Also, this is the last of these monoprints I'm trying focus on new work 😉

This is going to be challenging. I don't normally use manual focus. Can't wait to see what I can make this thing do

What day is it today? Why, it's Lensday! New glass is always exciting 😁

More results from last year's #monoprint experiments, using photos from my archives

I have several of these as I was practicing but I'll stick with a forest theme for this series. As suggested, I've added a cropped version for details

It was suggested this might make a good series of posts. This from a year ago when I explored alternative processes. Something to keep in mind for future play. 1/1 monoprint acrylic on paper #EastCoastKin #G+Circle #ArcanumAlumni #photography #CanadianPhotographer #monoprint #gelprint
