Last week Anna and I went to my home town of Altona, Manitoba for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, to hang out with some friends\/family, and for Anna to meet everyone she hadn’t met yet! I really didn’t take many photos. Or at least not as many as I wanted to. I had wanted to wake up for sunrise photos on the prairies but I was so busy and stayed up so late I usually just slept right through my alarms. Here are a few snaps that I did take though.<\/p>\n

These two snaps were taken near Pinawa, Manitoba at the ruins of an old dam. I would love to get back here and spend a lot more time exploring.<\/p>\n

On one morning while at the resort were we celebrated their anniversary, I did wake up for sunrise. But there were no clouds in the sky, just some nice golden light, so I decided to shoot other things then the grand landscape. I took out my 105mm 2.8 macro lens and started looking for dew covered bugs! This sunlight through this tree caught my eye as I was heading to a tall grass field where I knew I could find insects. I snapped this photo first.<\/p>\n

I found this dragonfly drying out its wings in\u00a0back-lit\u00a0sunlight. A little fill flash lit up the front of the dragonfly nicely.<\/p>\n

I was satisfied with the shots I got from the dragonfly so I took a texture shot of the sunlit prairie grass.<\/p>\n
