Last Sunday, Russ and i went out photographing. I was trying out my new camera for the first time, a Nikon D5000.

We went to the Lakeshore Rd between Newcastle and Port Hope again.

Hmm, okay, i'm getting lens reflections.

Augh! Just missed getting the start of the train.

I'm taking the new images in raw, and i'm really liking what you can do with raw. But it takes a lot longer! The files are about 12 times bigger than before .

One of the few shots where you can tell the train is still moving.

Augh, i was waiting for him to come up the road to take a shot. The bugger turned into a farm. Then waved as we went by, ha ha.

What are these things on the bales?

Ooo! Playing with depth of field!

Serious mistake buddy.

Oh, you got out. Why am i so tipped, ha ha?

There are two sets of tracks near each other, CN (double) and CP (single).

SLEEPY!

Wow, i can get pretty close with this camera.

Watch it, he might wake up!

We stopped at the side of the road where someone was tapping maple trees.

f/5.6 (exposure reduced in Photoshop), 1/4000 sec.

When you get a 4288 x 2848 image, you can get pretty close - cropped from above.

Ah ha, we stopped at the end of a road at a place called Port Britain.

The port facilities seem minimal.

Despite the fact it was fairly mild (for early March in southern Ontario), we got a chilling wind here.

We made it to Port Hope. This is an old firetruck, with peeling paint.

The so-called Canadian Fire Fighters Museum - i hope there are trucks which are much better cared-for inside, but the ones outside were decaying in the elements..

There were people fishing in the Ganaraska River.

A big fish, but he put it back for some reason (because i was photographing? lol) - cropped from above.

Sleepy goose!

We stopped on the way out of town at a place called George's Fish & Chips. Yummy!
