Stratford Summer Music Festival

Stratford Summer Music Festival opening night always has an amazing fireworks display. The fireworks display is often the best of the year, even better than the Canada Day one. This year was no different and easily was the best display that I have ever seen. I am able to see them from my street but for the past couple of years, I have gone to see them down by the lake, where the fireworks are set off from, and that is where I can get the best pictures. Down below there are 4 of the best pictures that I was able to get. The settings that I used was a shutter speed of 5', an FStop of 11 and ISO of 200. I used a remote shutter and a tripod to minimize shake. In total, I took 150 photos of the fireworks, but some were out of focus or not in a frame. My editing process has changed from just using Photoshop. I now upload them to Google Photos so I can use Snapseed on my phone, then I send them back to my laptop to use Photoshop for the finishing touches.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.  Main Lake at the Camp Reflections in the Lake Reflations on the other side of the lake A scenic lookout on the way home Rockingham Church on the way home

So Many Woodpeckers

Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me. Mallard Duck from a previous walk. One of many trees with signs of woodpecker activity. Black-Capped Chickadee. Downey Woodpecker. Pileated Woodpecker. Black-Capped Chickadee. Pileated Woodpecker.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping.  In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.  Sunset from the beach before the storm. Taken on my Pixel 6 My new camera with zoom lens.
