Unpacked most everything for Halloween Town 2024 over my lunch break. Tough placement only, but I think it will work. Sadly missing 2 structures, so I will play a bit and see if I can fit them in. #halloween #halloweendecor @lemaxcollection #spookytown #m
Jim Babbage:
Definitely a different day today, weather-wise, but still picture-perfect in its own way. Thanks for the tastings, @clafeldcider @stannerswines and @rosehall_run @princeedwardcounty @wellingtoncounty #ontariowinesnob #meandmyOM1 @omsystem.cameras

We spent a wonderful afternoon on Amherst Island today. We saw dry-stone walls being rebuilt, flocks of sheep with their protective guard dogs, and @topsyfarms Cedar being a goof for a bit of grass. @amherstisland @exploreamherstisland @drystonecanada @om

Well… without longer shelving, I will have to make some hard choices about Halloween Town this year. I think I can fit 20 out of 23 main buildings, which will feature all the new acquisitions, but may leave Frankenstein’s tower, the Isle of Creepy Jacks a

Halloween Town Rises! I’m getting a later start than some I know, but here’s what I’m working with, including more new buildings than I expected to buy. I’ve grouped buildings into a few categories: evil tiny carnival, downtown, cemetery, haunted cottage

@nigel.danson, this is a very recent image that reminded me of your work and has inspired me to do more of. I've included the original capture and my processed version. Truly enjoy your sessions on YouTube. #NDtrees24
Jim Babbage:
I’m stoked with how this image turned out. To bring out my vision, composition is critical but so is post processing. Swipe to see my edit replay. #postprocessing @lightroom #landscapephotography #morninglight

It was a magical morning at the #fortressofmoderatesolitude. Every image, except for the the lake, was captured roadside along County Road 2, east of Villiers Line. Minor editing for lakeside sunrise to remove the buoy line in the water. #cottageliving #

It’s that time of year. The soybean fields transform from a deep forest green to yellow-gold. I love catching these fields as they transition from summer to autumn color, when you can see the entire rich range of colors. I also had some fun with long expo
