Close-Up Creative Photography

I often find interest in the little things, I’m sure this is why I drove a few of my teachers in school crazy. I could be more interested in a buzzing fly than a classroom subject. Good news I can still be caught up by a buzzing fly, I have a few pictures below that are proof.

Nature is a pretty impressive thing, one of the cool things I find carrying my camera a lot is that, if I can capture it, I can share it and see it again, so it doesn’t have to be just a memory.

This picture was captured while on a trip to Deer Island, NB. This was the wake coming off the boat we were on. I used a 70-200mm f/2.8 Sigma Lens zoomed in to 200mm on the passing water.

This goes to show the power of nature, this image was captured in the Spring of 2014 just south of Woodstock, NB after a passing ice jam had spilled over the banks of the St. John River. The water and ice had actually broken this piece of granite into smaller rocks.

This picture of the clouds and blue sky was taken at a soccer pitch in Fredericton where I had been covering a game. It was a little glimpse of hope for what turned into a soggy day.

Happy Canada Day! This picture was taken at the July 1st fireworks show on the banks of the St. John River. This was the first attempt of taking shots of fireworks, it was a challenge and I had a blast.

This image was also captured during the Canada Day fireworks presentation in Fredericton. I couldn’t choose between the two pictures, so I went with both.

This is a wild rose I had found on the banks of Larry’s River, in Larry’s River, NS. This is also one of my favourite places on earth, it’s a small fishing community on the Eastern Shore of NS. half of my roots come from this area, to me it’s “Down Home”.

I found this little guy working away during the same walk I found the pink wild rose above. It was nice of him to pose for me, in order to take the picture.

This wild white rose was also found on the same walk, these are found on the side of the road along the river banks.

Weathered and layered stone, I found this while walking around the rocky shore of Cheticamp Island with my girlfriend while we were on a trip around the Cabot Trail. Another true example of Mother Nature’s power.

Also found on Cheticamp Island, NS. These blue bells are found all over the western part of the island.

Quartz, this was a pretty impressive stop along the Cabot Trail. Another example of Mother Nature’s power, rocky shore was created by hot lava many years ago, there were many bands of this brilliant white quartz in the granite rocks.

The water was very clear at the Irving Nature Park in Saint John, New Brunswick. This park really surprised me, it was the first time I had visited this area and certainly won’t be my last. There were lots of areas to capture.

On a walk in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, I found this bee working away on the edge of a street side garden, I took a close-up and it didn’t seem to mind.

I found this bee working away in the same flower garden. It was a very colourful garden.
