Metal Soldiers - Canada's National War monument

I was out for a walk around our National War monument and decided to capture the beauty of the sculptures that make up a large component of this shrine. The figures are fantastic and very beautiful, the detail is amazing.

Gatineau Park - Old Wilson Carbide mill hike

The Faubert's and Melmoth gang went for a hike in Gatineau Park, we headed to the site of the old Wilson Carbide Mill ruins. It is located about 2km off the P11 parking lot near Meech lake. The leaves were beautiful and the air was clear and crisp. We had he place virtually to ourselves, only a small group of photographers from Brockville showed up just before we turned around for the trek back to the cars.

See all the images here.

Busy Thanksgiving weekend...

I was able to do quite a few interesting things this past weekend. Besides celebrating Thanksgiving with Family and friends, I was able to enjoy shooting some photos. As much as I love photography nothing compares to the smell and tastes of Thanksgiving! I could eat turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy everyday, man what a combo.

Saturday evening I visited a house party that was actually a pig roast and mini music fest, my good friend Scott was invited so I tagged along. Great group of people out there as well as some seasoned musicians. They had a full PA setup in the barn, even a light setup.






















Party photos here.

Sunday saw us out at my brothers place(farm) for Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of fun with the whole Faubert crew, some hiking, soccer and dinner.





















Thanksgiving photos here.


On Monday we headed out to the Mill of Kintail Consevation area to hike around and enjoy some of the fall colours. Love this place! Went by Blakeny rapids to complete the outdoor activities for the weekend.






















Mill of Kintail photos here.

All in all a fantastic thanksgiving weekend!

Riding with the King. Just us and Elvis enjoying a little rush hour magic on the 417 in Ottawa. Only upside was the fact that the weather was so crappy!

Marco photography using an old Nikon 55mm manual focus macro lens on a D200. I also had a Vivitar 285 in my left hand for some off camera lighting. I preset focus and just moved my camera back and orth until the bee came into focus.

Rivyr and I met up with Tim and the boys for the first skate of the season at a public arna in Orleans last Sunday. Felt good to get out and do some different type of activity, however teh feet have informed me it is time to get some proper fitting skates. I love to skate but my wide feet don't get along with my narrow skates, off to Play It Again Sports!

My niece Holly and one of the kittens on the farm she and her family live on. I shot this with a series of portraits of the kids I was working on. I am a huge fan of the barn logs in the background, this photo was converted to B/W in Lightroom.

One of the locals out at my brothers place. She came over to check out what I was up to, I was actually feeling a little guilty as I was considering which on of these animals was going to end up in my freezer!
