Thank You Sairam!

Posted by Ellie

Last year I was selected to take part in a Landscape Mentorship which was being offered by a terrific landscape photographer, +Sairam Sundaresan  Today, those of us who took part in that mentorship are thanking him for everything he has done for us. This is what I feel about how I benefited from the mentorship:

"Sairam, I have so much to thank you for. First of all you selected me to be a part of this wonderful mentorship along with a marvellous group of friends. You recognised the vision I had and helped me to see it clearer myself. More important, you taught me to use special tools so that my images expressed my vision as I saw it in my mind. I am still learning, still working to hone and perfect those techniques. I will always remember you with gratitude."

I am resharing this image as Sairam said this was his favourite of my landscapes. So #ThankYouSairam  

For tomorrow's #farmfriday +Farm Friday   as well as:

Ottawa Valley Barn in the Fall

Posted by Ellie

I have been wanting to share this image ever since I took it, last fall.  I had recently been working on my G+ mentorship for Visionary Landscapes, mentored by +Sairam Sundaresan, part of the +G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers. I was looking for an image that would be special, as a memory of my mentorship and of my trip back to Ontario, very near where I used to live, just before I left Canada to live in Europe, when I was young.

When I saw this scene, I was intrigued by the beautiful round roofed pigeon loft (I think?) side of this old barn. It just stood out next to the lovely autumn foliage. I went back more than once during my brief stay there to try to get the photograph just as I wanted it, but it was overcast or actually pouring with rain. This particular time the elements were there and I got what I wanted. I hope it brings back memories of lovely autumn days and that you like it.

This will also serve to remind everyone that tomorrow is Farm Friday, so you can get your farming related images ready to share. +Farm Friday  #farmfriday  curated by myself and +Steven Kennard

Some 'Up Close and Personal' is too… Up close

Posted by Ellie

It was a wonderful sight! Outdoor free range pigs running around in the snow and foraging in the field. They were as curious as children, not in the least bit shy… as you see. Now you understand the expression 'piggy eyes'. They are pretty small, but the eyelashes are impressive!
