Wasteland Event:
She was stood in the sunlight, shimmering against the dark mountains behind. I asked her politely to move back from the fence for a cleaner shot, but she hesitated and refused. I might have got over the fence myself and led her away but I still have memories of being bitten by a pony a few years ago when I tried to get it to move into a better position.

Happy Canada Day, everyone!
This image is called Liberty "II" because I shot this grain elevator back in 2016. Funnily enough, when I got home I realized this is almost the exact same composition (I guess I'm nothing if not consistent) although under different conditions and very different processing. If you've read my blog post about my Saskatchewan trip then you'll remember this is the elevator where the owner gave me a tour inside. What a wonderful treat that was!
Liberty, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
At one time, grain elevators could be found every 8 to 10 miles along every railway line in western Canada. That allowed most farmers to make a round trip to an elevator to deliver and sell their grain with a horse and wagon in one day. From that elevator the grain would be shipped to ports on the Great Lakes or the west coast, across Canada and around the world. Grain elevators started appearing across the Prairies in the late 19th century, and the number of grain elevators peaked in 1938, when there were nearly 6,000 primary (country) elevators in the Prairie provinces. Many factors led to the decline of the primary elevator: the Depression, increased mechanization, improved roads for transportation, rural depopulation, the closing of branch lines of the railway and the buying out or merging of the grain companies and the building of large, concrete grain terminals. In 2023 there were only around 400 country elevators left in Saskatchewan and only about 100 are still in use. Many of the old, wooden elevators have been destroyed – burned down, struck by lightning, demolished - but some of them still remain - weathered but beautiful and stalwart.

De nuestro primer viaje a este impresionante lugar, en el que encontrar un metro cuadrado de arena sin pisar es toda una suerte.

... for the Carnation. It's Act I for the button because it's the first time I've photographed it. :)
The button is French and dates from the 1900s. It's hand painted and has areas of both champlevé and guilloché enamel.
Emerald Eyes II - I have been following this particular Bobcat for almost 2 years now and have had the fortune of photographing her beautiful kitten last year. I was afraid that she had moved on due to some trail maintenance - but was thrilled to find her again after several months recently.
I have noticed that some Bobcats have yellow-orange eyes and some have green eyes. This particular cat has beautiful light green eyes and I was really glad to capture them well here. A problem I had with DSLRs was losing the focus on the eye and catching a different part of the face or body when close to subjects. The animal eye AF of the R5 has really been a game-changer for low light Bobcat images for me. It helps me focus on composition, and seems to lock onto their eyes so effectively that I don't even have to think twice about focus. It also seems to help that Bobcats have large, light colored eyes which the system seems to like.
The silent electronic shutter also seemed to help as this particular cat is on the shyer side so I was very thrilled to be able to capture her filling the frame at 371mm! On the flip side, that tends to mean a lot of frames to sort through so it took me a while to find this perfect pose. Very excited to see and capture more of this beautiful cat.
