Black and White Horses

Although I have always liked black and white images, I seem to always forget to try the effect on many of my photographs.  Accidentally stumbling upon it's beautiful revealing qualities every once in a while.
 

 
 
This image is pretty on a computer screen but I wish I could show just how wonderful it is in print.  I've only just begun printing my images and trying different types of photo paper.  It look fantastic printed on matte paper and will be the first photograph hung on my wall.

Wheel of Flames!

I saw this idea on many Youtube channels: Take some steel wool, place it in a whisk, hook it up to a dog leash and light it on fire.  Yes this was dangerous, please don't try it unless you have a garden hose hooked up and ready to go!
(I set the grass on fire more then once!)
 


 
I really wish this one had turned out! unfortunately the camera didn't focus when I started to spin the burning wool, I will most definitely have to try this again!

Duck Duck...

Went down by the river to take some photos and found this lovely little spot where these ducks were swimming and enjoying the day.  They were very tolerant, I managed to get the camera within a foot of one of them.


 
Including a Goose!

Goose Lake

Seems a little silly comparing a goose to a swan, but these images reminded me of the ballet.  I would go almost every year to see either swan lake or the nutcracker and always marveled at the beautiful and inspirational dancers.

Pretty eyes


My favourite eye image, I found the overlay on a photo editing site, would love to make my own

Instagram

I recently joined the instagram scene, @kjrocan heres a little peek at what I've been posting there:

I've been trying out a little bit of street photography, I looked it up and for your photo to be considered 'street photography' it cannot be a set up, and shouldn't for the most part be edited.


Some lights through a rain covered window


My personal favourite! I really wish I had, had my big camera with me at the time, the whole field was covered in frost when the sun came up it made it so bright and beautiful!

Sun Sets

Since moving to the country I have seen so many beautiful sun sets and sun rises, still takes my breath away every time I see the sun paint the sky in bright pinks oranges and blues.
 


(my favourite!)
