It doesn't seem that long ago when we were looking forward to spring and here we are in autumn. This was taken on a beautiful spring day when the sky was blue! I just love the magnolias in the Arboretum and end up taking way too many photos of them most of which I end up binning because I haven't used them for anything.
Took grandson #2 for the day, and we went to Mispec Beach to look for sea glass. Beautiful weather, and beautiful skies. A lot of people, but no one else combing for glass.
Oceanex Avalon departing St. John's in early morning light. On shore you see Fort Amherst Lighthouse and WW II Gun Shelters along with the light keepers houses. There are not longer light keepers as the light is automated; you can arrange to stay in the keepers houses.

This is the main chamber in St Johns Cathedral in Brisbane.
I was unsure which way I prefer to view it and experimented for a while with different settings.
I did like the effect of removing the light levels in the ceiling which when seen with the vertical perspective distortion, gives a feeling of extreme height. It is quite a tall building anyway, but I liked the thought that it disappeared in the sky.
The cathedral is relatively dark internally, and here there are soft muted colours and the altar is highlighted with 3 spotlights (artificially)
The adjacent shot is very colour desaturated, and provides a very sombre mood which is appropriate to the Gothic cathedral.

More than an eye shot for a sunny day in England...

As the duel intensified, one of the eagles managed to gain the upper hand, pushing the other towards the river. But just as the outcome seemed clear, the underdog eagle showed resilience, breaking free and soaring high, only to dive back with renewed vigor.
We walked up to the Cape Spear Lighthouse using this path. When we got to the top, it was barracaded with a sign (on the other side) that said "Trail Closed for Winter". We managed.

The negative is heavily damaged, mostly due to operator error. I used a 90mm Schneider lens on a Speed Graphic without dipping the front rail out of the way. I had never used a wide angle lens on that camera before, and I didn’t look look carefully enough at the ground glass. I lost about 1/3 of the image to that, and some lens flare in the top right corner. Other than that, it’s not bad. It's tough to get backlit subjects to show shadow detail in film without blowing out the highlights.
Camera: Speed Graphic 4x5
Lens: 90mm Schneider
Film: Ilford Delta 100 developed in Ilfotec HC.

Back in the 1970's, people started using bright, bold colors for the exteriors of buildings to inject life into the town. These "Jellybean Row Houses" are everywhere now, and they give the city such a distinct, memorable sense of place. It wouldn't be St. John's without them!
