The dregs of summer are upon us for sure. Most plants are either withering away, or are big leafy greens (which don’t typically macrophoto very well). Caught this lil purple guy along the trail in Capilano Canyon.
Thanks very much! It’s pretty hot right now, we’ve got a few days of 30C weather in front of us right now. Been a very dry summer (by Vancouver standards, at any rate).
Thanks! The drop-off is something that I’ve struggled with using this process so far, as the edge shots will have the same shallow DoF that all of the other ones do. If there were a way to vary aperture while shooting the stack, that might be a way to do it.
Thank you! Process involves shooting a range of images in the field (generally more than I need), then merging them in either Photoshop or a tool like Helicon Focus. I then select the edge shots (where I’d like the focus to begin and end), and then selectively edit and/or remove shots from the stack; perhaps the wind moved the subject a bit, or a bug entered shot. Following that is my usual RAW processing regime, which varies from shot to shot.
Hiking a very dry Menzies Trail in Golden Ears this morning, came across a few bunches of what I believe to be Buffaloberries. I like the leaf lines in this a lot.
Finally got a shot of this odd door near Cleveland Dam in Capilano Canyon this morning. I’m not sure what it’s for… presuming it’s an emergency exit or something similar.
Good Morning, Widgeon Marsh ( lemmy.ca )
Caught some sunrise colours this morning out at Pitt Meadows.
Star Chilling Park ( lemmy.ca )
Came across a collection of starfish at Cates Park this morning due to low tide. I’ve never seen them up close like this before, very alien looking.
Canyon Start ( lemmy.ca )
A misty morning in Cypress Falls Park, leading into the canyon.
Foggy Lake ( lemmy.ca )
Foggy Lake - More sunrise fall fog, this time from Burnaby Lake.
Fog Echo ( lemmy.ca )
Really liked the shapes that the negative space of the fog took here. Calm and simple.
Mush Cup ( lemmy.ca )
Nice standalone mushroom seen this morning in Woodhaven Swamp (with a tiny guest).
Little Purp ( lemmy.ca )
The dregs of summer are upon us for sure. Most plants are either withering away, or are big leafy greens (which don’t typically macrophoto very well). Caught this lil purple guy along the trail in Capilano Canyon.
Good Morning, Smoke ( lemmy.ca )
Wildfire smoke still pretty strong here in Vancouver. This is a viewpoint from Burnaby Mountain, looking north towards Deep Cove and Indian Arm.
Here Be Dragons 2 ( lemmy.ca )
Took a couple of my old McFarlane dragon figures out on a hike this morning.
Here Be Dragons 1 ( lemmy.ca )
Took a couple of my old McFarlane dragon figures out on a hike this morning.
Summer Greens ( lemmy.ca )
Took a walk around Cliff Falls Park in Maple Ridge this morning. Might be worth a re-visit in the fall, once the water flow is stronger.
One Drop ( lemmy.ca )
A singular dewdrop, found while wandering Maplewood Flats this morning.
Good Morning, Old Pier ( lemmy.ca )
Summer sunrise once again, this time from Barnet Marine Park.
Buffaloberries ( lemmy.ca )
Hiking a very dry Menzies Trail in Golden Ears this morning, came across a few bunches of what I believe to be Buffaloberries. I like the leaf lines in this a lot.
Good Morning, Inlet Vibes ( lemmy.ca )
Managed to get up early enough to catch a summer sunrise in North Van today. Always a struggle to get out the door by 4:30am in the summer.
Incoming Raspberries ( lemmy.ca )
Caught some raspberries in the process of ripening this morning on a hike along Admiralty Point Trail in Belcarra.
Secret Exit ( lemmy.ca )
Finally got a shot of this odd door near Cleveland Dam in Capilano Canyon this morning. I’m not sure what it’s for… presuming it’s an emergency exit or something similar.
Damp Bells ( lemmy.ca )
A segment of a string of post-rainshower bells that I saw while hiking the Jug Island Trail in Belcarra, BC.
