Image Description – The snow, wind and rain has whipped the tree blossoms in my neighbourhood into a sparse mess this spring. Instead I turned my attentions to a protected corner of my garden where my Bleeding Hearts weathered the storms and abuse and gave a wonderfully showing of dainty blooms. I have an interesting choice of background in this part of my garden, I was surprised as to how the concrete foundation looked behind the flowers. The light turned the drab concrete colour into a rich Payne’s Grey.

Location – Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada

Photographic Gear – Nikon D80

Biography – I was on on-again-off-again shooter during the film days, with the Canon A-1 that my dad gave me. But since the Canon EOS 10D arrived, and I moved into the world of digital photography, there’s been no stopping me. Today I shoot primarily with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but I still have that old 10D (converted to infrared now).

I shoot nature, sports (hockey mostly), concerts, architecture, anything really. But the most enjoyment I get is when I wander off with just one camera and one lens and capture whatever I see.

Image Description –Every spring, when the snow melts, these amazing seasonal waterfalls come to life in Gatineau Park. The window to capture them is short, since once the snow is gone, they become just a trickle of water, or dry up completely.

This image is just a small portion of one of the larger spring waterfalls, along the Dunlop Trail.

Location – Gatineau Park, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

Photographic Gear – Canon 5D Mark II, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM, Manfrotto 055 XProB with 488RC2 head, 1/15s @ f/22 ISO 200 70mm
