Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos
About Me
- Name: Lloyd
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.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE.
One of the true wonders of the Natural world. It's amazing that something so ordinary as a spruce cone could be so mathematically precise.

MY LITTLE SPRUCE FRIEND.
After the snow melted I spotted this tiny seedling peeking up through the coarse gravel near the edge of the driveway. I figured that if it was courageous enough to put down roots in a place like that , it deserved a break. Reminds me of my ancestors.

THE QUEEN'S BATTERY, ST. JOHN'S. A citadel finally captured, but by means more subtle than gunfire.

FORT AMHERST.
Shown, returning to port, one of the new type fishing craft designed to counter DFO restrictions , dangerous things that look more like a box than a boat.
