Juxtaposition- an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. I simply could not get a bird to land on the birdbath after I was all set up with camera and “beany duck” in position. I was ready to drive to Elk Island and take pictures of buffalo instead when…

With the lights off I played with some coloured flashlights to expose the following scenes. “What is it boy?” Bennett, D. (2014). “What is it boy?”. [image]. Complementing…
Topic of the week RURAL – Challenge is to capture an image that reflects the topic. I had multiple ideas but could not capture what I was after. When the crops start to come in the timeline to capture the farmers in the field is short. My initial shoot was a gloomy wet Saturday, it…
