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.

ST. JOHN'S.
.
For such a busy port, the harbour seems unusually quiet, though there are literally hundreds of boats tied up at the various berths around the shore.

TODAY.
.
We've only got to wait c. another 75 days before the plough is put away for another season. Despite the weather, there are few places on the planet that are more hospitable.

A SPECTACULAR DRIVE.
.
The road, as it nears Fort Amherst, becomes very narrow, and because of the ice, very trecherous; consequently I didn't get to see the fort.

THE NEW.
.
The "Rooms" and foreground, arguably, the ugliest piece of urban architecture on the planet. This view is from the other side of the harbour.

THE OLD.
.
As viewed from across the harbour. How much longer, I wonder, before this view will also be obstructed!
