Purple Trees

Obviously these trees weren't actually purple but isn't it amazing what a little Photoshop can do??
I love playing around with different colours to make a ho-hum photo of some trees look so eye catching!!

Lately, I've been really loving adding text to my photos so you'll probably be seeing a lot more of that with my photos. I've always been a big fan of inspirational quotes & sometimes I look at these photos while editing and think... this quote would look perfect here.

On this Purple Tree pic though, I think the photo speaks for itself.
I could've said something along the lines of "Life is an adventure" or something like that because of the opening in the middle of the trees... but I like the simplicity of this picture. I think it's sort of beautiful.

Until next time!

Love Your Earth

I love the planet! :)

Winter Wonderland Part I

Some photos of my nature walk that I took yesterday... It was absolutely freezing and I kept stepping 3 feet into the snow.. my hands were cold.. but it was worth it. I got some pretty shots out of the deal!
Stay tuned for more :)

More Spooky...

Here are the last of my photos from my walk around our Boat Launch.

I do see that the last photo is a little bit crooked.. Definitely a situation when a tripod would come in handy.

Next up... Thunder Bay gets covered in snow!

Haunted

I don't know about you, but these photos are a little bit spooky, in my opinion!
The way I edited them has this dark ominous look about them... and I kinda love it!

Also...if you're from the States, try not to get into any fights in the huge Black Friday line ups.

As for me, I'll be staying in today as Thunder Bay seems to be overtaken by the snow monster.

Have a good one!

Playing Around With Colour

Probably some of my favorite photos yet!
While editing, I wasn't shy with contrast, colour, etc... I really played around and I'm loving how these turned out.
I'm also loving these new settings that I've discovered... it's amazing how much "manual focus" can change the potential of a photo!

Boom-De-Ad-A-I love the WHOLE WORLD

Some photos taken at one of our local parks here in town.
Finn Pride!

Nature is Beautiful

I'm starting a new blog to keep all my photos in one place.
I'll still be keeping my old blog just because I like to reminisce.. and on this new blog I'll still be posting recipes from time to time.

I probably won't post in the other one much (or ever) but I have nice memories in there like my Florida trip or Camping memories and I've been using that blog a long time.. so I think it's only right to keep it around!

With this new blog, you can expect actual direction and purpose for posts (wh-what?!). Here, I will be focusing on my 2 main interests... cooking & photography. Basically, these 2 things are hobbies that I feel I'm actually kind of good at and I'd like a place to document it.. sort of like a portfolio.

Follow along, don't follow along.. comment, don't comment.. it's not a big deal to me. It would be nice to have some constructive criticism however in order to keep improving everyday!

Hmm.. k bye!
