Looking back on some images taken on a very cold winter day in January 2015, I chose one of the old, digitally-dusty frames to process as it had been neglected for far too long. In Port Dalhousie (technically, the Regional City of St Catharines, Ontario), the Welland Canal entrance from Lake Ontario offers protection to ships making the transit via a pair of piers that extend out into the lake some 1000 metres. On the East side of the East pier, a man-made spit has been made from materials dredged during both canal construction and the periodic maintenance operations. Toward the far extent of the spit, sumac has established itself, albeit in a somewhat stunted form due to the constant winds off Lake Ontario. In the winter, those same wind deposit fine mist from the lake on the sumac branches and occasional seals in snow from a recent snowfall, as seen here. I spent time time out here freezing various appendages as I crawled around with tripod and camera to capture the scene on this day. - JW

Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!
