A friend and I were in Niagara-on-the-Lake this week to see Heartbreak House at the Shaw Festival. We come here a few times a year, but I think my obsessive photo habit is wearing thin on her. During our walkabout before the play I mentioned that I wanted to take a photo of a particular place, whereupon my friend - in what I hoped was not really an exasperated voice - immediately piped up with "but you already have a picture of that!" "Well, maybe, but not in this light", said I - in what I hoped was a calm voice.
and I simply could not resist - though these guys are fast losing their baby yellow-ishness
but like I tried to explain, light is everything...
Awwww, great shot of the gosslings..:-))
ReplyDeleteI like your "yellows."
ReplyDeleteCharming places, those . . . and the baby waterfowl (ducks?, geese?) are cartoonishly cute!
yeah, me and my baby Canada Geese! (and this is only batch number one!)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right...light is everything.
ReplyDeleteNice shots!!

Gorgeous yellows - and the quality of the light makes such a difference.
ReplyDeleteGreat "yellow" choices. Love the babies. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture of the chicks - ignore your friend and keep taking those photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely light indeed. I really like the architecture in the second shot. Also, love your header. A violet sky indeed!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know that voice! LOL I like that first shot and of course the baby is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI've just realized how much lighting can effect a shot. love the little ones!

Love the photos. You are a great photographer. Don't let anyone distract you from finding the right light. I once climbed to the top of a hill with a friend and then waited for three hours for the sun to move to just the position he wanted for the photoshot.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Your friend sounds a bit like my husband. ;) But I agree that light can really change the subject a LOT.
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo for the composition and the light. I can see why you had to take it at that particular time. It makes a good 'yellow' shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The goslings are just too cute! And I have actually been to the Prince of Wales in Niagra on the Lake! (I am now in Florida, so pretty far away!)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the light-makes all the difference.

Nice shots, like them all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I do believe I have seen "The Prince of Wales." Not all that far from here.
ReplyDeleteYou and your duckies!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! It posted! Yay. I have not been able to post here in ages. Yay! Sound the horns!
ReplyDeleteI was in Niagara on the Lake this past week too! It's a nice area and very photogenic!
ReplyDeleteI like the yellow theme!
I love that last one! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAren't all baby things sweet? Aaahhh...
ReplyDeleteI love the Prince of Wales hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Wonderful place. The photo brought back lots of great memories. Thanks for posting the photo! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos, especially the ducklings/goslings. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI, too find that my entourage loses their patience with my photography obsession at times. hehe!

I've gone back to something to catch a different light. But I guess if you aren't much of a photographer, that would get old.
