The WWIG Blog Is Up and Running Again

Maestro... a drum roll please! After several weeks of silence The WWIG Blog has resumed (for a while).

Let's just get right to it. The  items are going to be more or less random this evening but I plan to do more posting over the next several days and hope that by the time I'm done just about everything that needs to be covered will be in this and the next several posts.

First and foremost, Janet Rosseter's absolutely fantastic photograph is going to be used for The WWIG Blog masthead until our next meeting. If the canoes were the color of mud, this would be and excellent image; but because of the color the photo is something truly special. The fog, the reflection, the barely perceptible trees on the right, that there are 2 canoes rather than 1, and the yellow buoy all add to what make this a perfect image.

Here is another example of something similar. On the Lake Superior Circle Tour our group spent a good deal of time at a secluded and very photogenic beach at sunrise. The beach was adjacent to a cluster of dwellings and community buildings belonging to a small band of Canadian Indians and they have put a table in a very good viewing spot. Most of us ignored the table and photographed the sunrise, waves, and a small island which seemed to be the appropriate subject. A couple of members of our group, however, realized that the bright and unusually colored table had the potential for turning this fairly mundane scene into an unexpectedly interesting photograph.
