Two hours at Esquimalt Lagoon

These are a few photos from the day we took the van to Esquimalt Lagoon for lunch. The same day I was shooting the Fisgard lighthouse and the little bridge. June 25th was an overcast day with bright reflections off water and lighter sand. I have more to do in this series, but there is no rush.

We have had a bit of rain, which makes it nice. I can spend the time tweaking photos on my computer while the garden gets watered, this week.

Having joined Flickr, I have decided to make sets and collections for my 'series' of things that I want to upload. This Esquimalt Lagoon will be the first one. Then I would like to do my flowers -- columbines, irises, and the roses each as a set, then put the garden sets into a 'my garden' collection. No one is looking on Flickr anymore than they are on PN. I have my old stuff on PN and should load more of my travel stuff there, maybe.

A bridge

This last photo looks almost like it might be a Holga with the vignetting. But this is what happens with the S3 IS if you do not zoom the lens all the way when using the teleconverter. I rather like it and I might even do more fake Holgas with this teleconverter.

Recently, I have joined Facebook and Flickr, so I have been kind busy other than my blog and my page. But, I have got a bit more done on my page. Its all fun. Some of the features on Flickr are pretty nice. Its a huge place. And to think it got started right here in Victoria. Although, I know, we have a very vibrant group of young professional computer programers and software developers here. Makes me almost wish I was younger and in to the loop. But retirement is much too sweet, in reality.

I think I might have advanced a baby step in my dilemma about my photography. Lately I have been shooting 'studies' of things. Unplanned, but it seems to need to be done. Maybe its a stage I am going through, on the way to finding out what I can do with my cameras.

So here is my study of the little bridge that goes over one end of the Esquimalt Lagoon. Its a lovely spot. We took the van and a deli sandwich out here for lunch on an overcast day.

There is more to this few hours at Esquimalt Lagoon, but this is all for now. Hope you like it.
