normandy seagull

since I'm running with animal photos, here is one more.

normandy cows

still going through france photos and here is one that i enjoyed. This was in the backyard of the farm we stayed at for 10 nights. on a technical note i used a vignette on the cows in lightroom to darken down the background a bit and highlight my subject. on another note, this image shows a great example of the rule of thirds. Google rule of thirds if you don't know what it is.

arromanches

Still going through images and found another one of me. This was at the british beach landing site at arromanches. Very cool spot.

France

I was very lucky to be able to go to france for the 70th anniversary of D Day this year. I shot 15,000 photos and now am working on getting the images ready, which is a mammoth task. In looking for images for someone today i came across this selfie i took of myself on Juno Beach during a ceremony on july 7th.

New Pano

I recently tried a 10 frame pano of the Lt. Gov. residence in Fredericton. It stitched together very well and i then masked two exposures of the same completed pano together to darken sky and area around building. It didn't take long and i was happy with the result.
