Atotonilco & Vicinity #13, a photo by rdonovan on Flickr. One of the more interesting locations I visited in San Miguel was the Church at Atotonilco. It is a World Heritage site - and upon perusing its interior it is easy to see why. However, it is anything but a museum. It is a working... Continue Reading →
100-400mm at 400mm
San Miguel Random #117, a photo by rdonovan on Flickr. Now, for this week's photo. I retook a picture of the same dog before he moved. But this time, zoomed in at 400mm to show a close-up. Both of these photos were shot in the course of a few seconds, which really highlights the wonderful... Continue Reading →
100-400mm at 100mm
San Miguel Random #116, a photo by rdonovan on Flickr. One of the lenses in my bag that rarely gets used is my 100-400mm lens. While walking the streets of San Miguel, I discovered this dog at rest. This week's shot shows the lens when used at 100mm.

Back with Photos – now the processing begins…
I am back. Had a wonderful time. Took several thousand photos. Some of the highlights included dusk, the downtown skyline, walking around downtown, the churches at Antonilco, and the botanical garden. It will take me some time to process it all and upload - especially given that my DSL is too slow (thank you Bell... Continue Reading →
Preparing for the Next Photography Project
Over this past year, I have considerably retooled my photographic tools repertoire. The goal of this has been to highly improve the quality and ability to take pictures versus where I started at five years ago. First, the hardware has now been rationalized to: Canon EOS 1D Mark IV - The low-light and 48-point auto-focus... Continue Reading →
An Experiment in Macro-Photography
Greenhouse Tour #45 Originally uploaded by rdonovan Before this fall, just about the only photography I have done this year was my first foray into macro-photography. It was also the first time I opened my 100MM macro-lens - which had been sitting in a box since 2007! Whoops! I have finally gotten around to... Continue Reading →
A Sunset Retrospective
Sunset Oct. 2009 #30 Originally uploaded by rdonovan It is hard to believe how much time has elapsed and how far behind I have become with my photography. Last year, the last set of photos I took was of a spectacular fall sunset in Ottawa. And, unfortunately, I'm just now getting around to posting... Continue Reading →
Time for Pictures Again
Lanark County Fall 2010 #28 Originally uploaded by rdonovan I have largely ignored my photography hobby over the last year. But, fall in Ottawa is simply too good not to miss. This year, instead of the usual downtown and Gatineau Park venues - it was time to head southwest to Lanark County - and... Continue Reading →
Fall Colors
Ottawa Fall Colors '09 #23Originally uploaded by rdonovanOttawa in the fall is extraordinarily beautiful. Especially if sunny weather coincides with the leaves turning color. This year, I managed to get lucky. I was able to view the fall colors from my balcony in Wellington Village/Westboro; Chelsea, Quebec; Gatineau Park in Quebec; and Bate Island on... Continue Reading →
