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 BUTTER AND EGGS.
.
So sad in a way for soon it will all be over for another season. Some may survive the first frost, though not many. Soon the land will be bare of all the panoply of Nature's incredibly artistic palet. But that's how it is in life. No matter how beautiful, everything must come to such an end so that the seasons may continue: always hoping that the next season will be even more beautiful than the one before. So life goes on.

Slim pickings those days, and I am not thinking just about duck feed.

HARVEST MOON.
.
It is very difficult to photograph a full moon and expect detail because the moon is in the direct light of the sun and therefore there is very little contrast and no shadows to outline the contours of the mountains and the craters. Neverthless it was such a glorious night that I couldn't resist. A good omen, I hope, for a bountiful harvest.

On the roadside near St. Phillip's. It's nice to have another driver for then one can be on the lookout for things that otherwise might be missed.
