Nice stuff Swordy! Last one reminds for a side road near Lake Simcoe between Barrie and Orillia (Hawkestone). If the sun ever comes back out maybe I can get some shots before the leaves disappear.

Fantastic photos, Swordy! The first one (probably my fave) reminds me of some popular paintings, I think it's Kierstead's painting style that it reminds me of. The third one is calm and relaxing. The old cider mill is perfectly photographed.

Nice work!

nice shots Swordy.
may I suggest you invest in a tripod as some of the shots suffer from
shake.

Actually I think that works in some of the photos and gives an oil-painting hazy feel.

It could be considered a style of photography in terms of focus technique without all the fancy filters.

'Shake' I hadn't considered or would have recognized so I appreciate the insight. :)

Sorry it was cold :)

I have the same problem Swordy:)
but it don't need to be cold. I get 1 shot in 5 on average.
so I take multiple shots of the same seen.
My comment was meant to be positive....

No worries Ken I didn't take it the wrong way :) I don't mind criticism This is my second new camera so still learning

Shake is also a major problem for "Familia Tremors" I believe it is called.... I have a monopod on my camera much of the time and even if it is not on the ground the extra weight helps steady the shot... kind of like the big counterbalances that you see on hand held Vuideo camerias for city tv

You have some beautiful places in Canada, shame about the weather though!

I got my first ever digital camera today, there seems to be a lot to learn with it. Got two photos downloaded to the computer but have no idea how to post them, I'll get back to the manuals that came with the camera.

I hot-linked to one and he got upset because he pays for his service.

I don't know if this is connected to the current problem though?
