A couple shots of people fishing on an #AlderneyLanding pier back in late August. Anyone local looking at this is probably hoping they’re catch and release fisher-people. #Fishyfriday #Scape #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #Dartmouth

A random sunflower along the #Dartmouth Waterfront from mid-August. I was quite pleased with this one, so surprising I didn’t get to the edit until now. 🤷‍♂️ #ColoraDay #YellowThu #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

A little #streetphotography from last weekend’s Agricola Open Street Festival … whose original scheduled post has apparently vanished from buffer. 🤷‍♂️ #HumansofBlueSKy #UrbanGaze #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Some street art I spotted over the weekend while wandering the Agricola Open Street Festival. #TagTuesday #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #ArtChallenges #StreetArt

So my #NikonD850 can shoot in #monochrome … but the images get exported to my iPad in color. Well that’s disappointing. 😔 #photographersofBlueSky

A few self-portraits I shot over the weekend. Admittedly they were a bit rushed … but with these results I’m really not complaining. #selfportraitsunday #artofselfportraiture #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

For #ForestFriday, enjoy an evening wander along the paths of #PointPleasantPark! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Remember those gliding seagull shots I posted a couple weeks back? Nothing overly dynamic, but the accomplishment was in just getting the shot? I think of that as “level one” & here’s “level two!!” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #BWFri #photography #HaliSky #Flyday

Some of the shots from shooting with @hfxmermaid.bsky.social. Full gallery should be up on my homepage now! (Yes, I held off posting just so I could use #FishyFriday) #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Found a bunch of #HalifaxPublicGardens shots from getting to know my 24-70mm lens that I’m *shocked* I hadn’t edited, so enjoy the extra content! #palacesandgardens #ColoraDay #yellowthu #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

A few shots from in and around downtown #Halifax from the past few months. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #HumansofBlueSky #UrbanGaze

Some extras and alternate takes for the #palacesandgardens crowd. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Some night shots from a trip to #PointPleasantPark this past weekend. Not what I was originally planning to shoot … but a pharmacy screwup cost me daylight and, really I’m not complaining. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #NightPhotography #docks #photography #HaliSky

Some #streetart at the site of what was once the Bloomfield Community Centre here in #Halifax. I’d have been perfectly happy to have had those buildings stay up just to preserve the art that was on them. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #tagtuesday #photography #HaliSky

Hey @buffer.com? I keep meaning to ask; when I’m creating a post for BlueSky, why does Buffer let me add five images (if I’m not paying attention or cross posting), then warn me I’m one over the limit? Shouldn’t it just cap the image limit at four? Or is it a “There’s already a fix coming” thing?

Hanging out with a friend yesterday gave me an opportunity be really literal with #BlueSkyMonday. I give you the #Halifax Waterfront during the first Maritime Heritage Festival! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #photography #HaliSky #Boats #Waterfront

For most people an “Achilles Heel” is metaphorical. For @speedballbailey.bsky.social its historically accurate.

Continuing the #BeforeandAfter with my #NikonD850, “Power of the Primes” Optimus Prime! White background was back in February & one of the few shots that worked, black BG is about two weeks ago. #toyphotography #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #LightboxPhotography #photography #HaliSky

Been having some trouble shooting in my Lightbox with the D850 … but got some help from ol’ One Eyed Cappy and figured everything out. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #photography #HaliSky #toyphotography #capybara

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

I got to the #Dartmouth bridge terminal on my way home tonight. Half the stops are closed for repaving this weekend, and yet despite numerous signs saying stops were closed and where to go, numerous people sat waiting for buses that would never come. Humanity makes so much more sense now. #HaliSky

Stopped at the #HalifaxPublicGardens last weekend, planned another crack at the Blue Heron, but when that expectedly fell through, I saw what the sunlight was doing … seemed a good time to play. 🤷‍♂️ #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #Urbangaze #Palacesandgardens #photographersofbluesky

I can honestly hear the “Uh sir?”

My friends, on this #BlueSkyMonday I give unto you this premonition. As soon as Sleeping Beauty goes public domain … we are all *screwed.* Cosplayer: Serendipsydoesy (IG) #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #Disney #cosplay #fairy

Enjoy this mostly unedited (I adjusted the color, but that’s it) optical illusion to start the week. Doesn’t look it, but he’s leaning against the side of my Lightbox #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #LightBox #toyphotography

For the #BlueSkyArtShow I thought I’d do another “Then & Now.” The basketball was the first non-Lightbox photo I took on my D850 pre-repair, and the baseball was this past weekend. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #baseball #sports

I have a rule that as soon as I walk into the #HalifaxPublicGardens, photos are taken. I feel like you can guess why. (Please note, not my wedding couple, they just came with the bridge) #greensat #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Gotta be honest … I am *really* glad somebody at @EastCoastKin.bsky.social made #BWFri a thing & @handcranked.bsky.social compiled the list that let me find it. Also, as someone who enjoys black & white … *GOD* I love my D850! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #Halifax #coloraday #HaliSky

For this week’s #Scape theme, while I had a bunch of standard harbour shots, I thought I’d take one of my shots of the #Dartmouth waterfront and see where I could go with it. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #sunset #cityscape #D850

Just for giggles, I thought I’d do some Before & After. Roughly the same shot, same lens and camera. The first taken back in March, second this past weekend after the autofocus on my D850 was fixed. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Dartmouth #photography #HaliSky

Since I’ve been practicing night shots recently, here’s some downtown #Halifax for your perusal. Mostly Argyle street with a hint of Barrington Street. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky #UrbanGaze #HumansofBlueSky

Saw this down by the marina near Alderney Gate last week … I’m honestly not sure if it’s an advertising campaign that ran its course or the universe commenting about love. 🤷‍♂️😂 #HaliSky #RedWed #ColorADay #WackyWednesdayArt #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #Dartmouth

A few shots of our visiting #BlueHeron in the #PublicGardens. I’m hoping he’ll be around long enough for me to grab some shots where I’m not shooting against the sun, but if not I’m rather good with these. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #BirdoftheDay #HaliSky

Some of the street art from the new Barrington St transit terminal … #HaliSky #EastCoastKin #TagTuesday #ArtYear #photographersofBlueSky #StreetArt #Halifax

Yeah, I know I know #EastCoastKin … you didn’t actually mean #RockinTuesday to be for music … so have a bonus shot from #FishermansCove Pirate Days that’s more what you were aiming for. 😂 #photographersofBlueSky #HaliSky #TidesOutTuesday

Ok, admittedly I don’t normally start at the end when sharing a batch of photos … but I also don’t normally stumble across a concert at 11 at night while wandering downtown #Halifax as I wait for a bus home. 🤷‍♂️ #RockinTuesday #thecampfire #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #HaliSky

So for those on #Halisky who might be interested … apparently there’s been reports of two Herons, but as of this post there’s “only” the one sunning himself by the island in the middle of the pond. #PublicGardens

Here's the art challenge cheat sheet for Sept 1-7 NEW: #SleepySep daily prompts BACK: #TheCampfire See comments for host list + extra info from hosts #ArtChallenges #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #photography #dailyart #art #painting #drawing #ArtPrompts

🎶 Hangin' 'round downtown by myself And I had so much time To sit and think about myself And then there she was…🎶 Ok #HaliSky … was I the *ONLY* one who didn’t catch this #MarcyPlayground reference on Barrington?! #PhotographersofBlueSky #NightPhotography #EastCoastKin #UrbanPhotography

Ok, what did I miss about the Coward in Chief? I’m seeing a lot of hopeful gloating but no actual information.

#Seagulls. Ok, in and of themselves not the most interesting of photos … but they’re my first successful “bird in flight” shots .. LET ME HAVE THIS!! 😂 #photographersofbluesky #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #FishermansVillage #NovaScotia #photographersunited

And now a selection of shots from this past weekend’s “Pirate Days” in Fisherman’s Village, most notably featuring Kevin Sauder (@sirknightcosplay - IG) & Steph Leonhart (@s_leonhart - IG) of the #CrimsonKnot! #pirates #humansofbluesky #EastCoastKin #cosplay #BlueTue #piratecrew

This is honestly what plays in my head every time I see a post about that Town Hall meeting.

Spent most of the weekend in #FishermansVillage in #EasternPassage … which is somehow always where I break in a “new” camera, this time a #Nikon #D850 Pirate photos to come! #photographersofbluesky #seaside #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday #colors #NovaScotia #ruralphotography
