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.

THE PASCHAL MOON.
.
Even though is starting to wane (gibbous) it is very difficult to photograph because of lack of detail when almost directly facing the sun. The moon was full last Thursday.

PINE CONE.
.
I couldn't find a crocus,so I photographed this instead.


MANUELS RIVER.
.
I wanted to photograph this during the Spring run-off while the ice was still in the river. It was a spectacular sight. However; it was much to dangerous to ventute out on the bridge while the sidewalks where piled high with ice and snow.

ICE IN THE BAY.
.
I'm making up for the long time I've been house-bound. A common sight for us but for our friends on the mainland, it must be one of mixed feelings.
