"Thornbury, Ontaro" "Colingwood, Ontario" " SEE THE GALLERIES BELOW "

Currently, the art of digital photography has surpassed the film camera and i decided to grab on. I have committed my energy and dedication to taking "PRISTINE" pictures of Collingwood, Thornbury, Beaver Valley and the surrounding area to the best of my ability. Note: I use Adobe Light Room and don't know how to use Photoshop yet. All my pictures are real out of my Camera.

Don't be surprised if you see me on the roadside with my tripod and camera at all hours of the day hunting for the "WOW" shot!!!! I do Landscapes, Nature, Farms, Interiors, Special projects and Aerials. Also, I am interested taking shots of boats. I have already done a on water shoot of Sensation and Ophir 2( See Below). If interested in prints or on canvas please contact me, email at matherpete3@gmail.com

Hummingbird : Hummingbird collection shot in Thornbury,Ontario in the Beaver Valley near Georgian Bay. This took about three weeks to do in September. Every day i shot. I had a lot patience and i was excited to create these awesome shots. Hummingbirds come and go ( almost like a cycle)to the the feeders and to natural flowers they love , like the Honey Suckle. Then they rest on perch or fly off to a distance tree to digest or rest. My wife says they come back to our garden every year. And at the end of the season, she also says that Hummingbirds usually comes to us to say good bye and the heads off down south. Hope you enjoy.
