Converted in Analog Efex, a seldom chosen plug-in particularly when converting to black and white. Vive la difference!
Driving around Cape Breton Island we would alway be on the look-out for eagles. Often a black bird would be flying high up in the sky and one of us would say: "0h look an eagle", but most every time it would be a crow. So after too many disappointments we jokingly would refer to crows as Cape Breton Eagles.
After sucking up the nectar, the Clouded Yellow Butterfly withdraws its proboscis from the flower's nectaries laden with pollen.
Taken while driving from our home near Toronto, Ontario, to Sydney, Cape Breton, a two-day trip. Didn't have a chance to take pictures on the first day, but A wanted a chance to drive also, so this one was taken during the change-over stop on the side of the TransCanada, on the misty morning of the second day.
I am taking new images so rarely these days, but am thoroughly enjoying looking back at library shots, reprocessing many from a long time ago to just last year. Part of it is seeing what I get using different software. I used Nikon NX Studio for this set. Here, I was able to get a lot more shadow detail than I had previously.
A coastal lagoon separated from a larger water as a sea or ocean by a sand or shingle bar is known in Atlantic Canada as a barachois, a word coming via the French language from the Basque word barratxoa, meaning little bar. The lagoon is hereby protected from rough waters and provides a haven for, for example, elvers or baby eels.
The baby eels fishery in Atlantic Canada provides fishers with a lucrative catch. A kilo of elvers will fetch $5,000 on the open market. The fishery is troubled by disputes between legal and illegal fishers and indigenous fishermen.
