Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos

My Photo
Name:

My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

BEAUTIFUL BRIGUS SOUTH.

One of the most picturesque outports on the Southern Shore and once one of the busiest, but, sadly, not any longer. The boats tied up at the wharf are not pleasure craft, they are fishing boats.

DECEPTIVE BEAUTY.

MOTORBOAT.
Typical of the small boat design used in the outports in the previous generation. Every fisherman would own such a boat, usually built by himself. This is now very much a lost art. The motorboat was used for commuting as well as for fishing. It was the outport automobile.
