Summer of 2012 Part III

Welcome to Part III of my Summer of 2012 series!  This part of the series includes a little macro photography and a smokey sunset at Lac Du Bonnet.  Kaelynne and I were in Lac Du Bonnet in August at my friend Anne's family cabin (see Part II of the series).  The smoke slowly rolled in as the day went on and made for some really cool sunset shots with great colours.  This is the middle of my Summer of 2012 series!  I shot the following pictures with my 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses.  Two more parts of the summer series left, stay tuned.  :)

Hope you enjoy!

Summer of 2012 Part II



 

Even though the weather is cold, windy and wet outside (in Winnipeg anyway), I feel better taking a look back at these summer pictures!  Welcome to Part II of my Summer of 2012 series!  

 

I've had a high request for prints of some of the photo's I've been posting on my blog so I've decided to offer prints to those who are interested.  All of my photo's are professionally printed at Don's Photo here in Winnipeg.  Prints will come clean (without my watermark) but will be copyright protected on the back of the paper to ensure no copying is done.  Sizes range from 4"x6" to 20"x30".  I'm also able to get canvas prints sizes ranging from 16"x20" to 24"x36".  For a full size and price range and other order inquiries, please e-mail me at photographybyginalmayor@gmail.com.  The prints available are those of landscapes, scenery, flowers, animals, etc. but do not include those of people.  Thank you SO very much for your interest in my work!  I'm so blessed and am very grateful to you all for your support and love. 

 

Now, on with Part II of my summer photos!  The following photos were taken at Lac Du Bonnet, Manitoba.  My friend Anne from work invited my family out to their cabin one weekend in August.  The weather was perfect.  They have a really cool cabin and a great spot of land out at the lake.  We had such a great time and are looking forward to going back again next summer!  It was a lot of fun to wander around and snap some pictures.  There will be more from my Lac Du Bonnet trip later on in my Summer of 2012 series so stay tuned for those!

Summer of 2012 Part I

I was a busy gal this summer!  This is part one of five... :)  Each part will have 8 photos and one will have 9.  The first part of my Summer of 2012 will include flowers.  Flowers are so beautiful, colourful and make for gorgeous photos.  I usually shoot my own flowers but this year with the move I didn't plant any flowers or buy any hanging baskets.  The flowers in this part of my summer adventures are from my husband's grandma and my mother in law's yards.  Next year I'll have flowers again and will definitely will be taking shots!  I played around with my different lenses and my favorite one to shoot flowers with is my telephoto.  The telephoto I have is the 55-250mm, it came with my camera.  I used it a lot this year for full moon, blue moon and sunset shots.  I love it!  Those will come up later in another part of my Summer of 2012 series.  My next telephoto lens is the 70-200mm but I'll have to save my pennies for a while to get it.  There are a couple landscape shots in this part as well.  Without further adieu here they are!  Enjoy.  :)

I love this shot, the pale colour of the background and the imperfect petals of the flower (Grandmother-in-law's garden) - June 2012 (154)
