Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
I like taking minimalistic photos and I love peeling paint, so what is better than a big old painted brick wall that’s peeling? I’m no expert, but I guess people paint brick buildings to smarten them up, though it seems that they start peeling rather quickly if you chose the wrong type of paint or …
We wandered about along Corydon Avenue on Christmas Eve and, surprise, I took photos, haha. I can never get enough light shots or blurry shots, so a combo of the two is great for me. Hopefully, you enjoy them too. If you go to the website menu you can click to find links to my …
I noticed lights strung up in a backyard down the street and zoomed my camera in to take photos. I liked them all, so I decided to use different filters and played a bit with contrast and exposure on some of them. Enjoy! If you go to the website menu you can click to find …
Just some still life shots taken in late fall. Edited a bit. Filters: dramatic warmth & silvertone A bit of adjustment in exposure and contrast. Enjoy!

I don’t do much editing on my photos, you will always hear me talking about using my eye, just my point and shoot camera, no fancy equipment, and that’s true of these still life photos of the leaves I brought inside at the end of October. I like to keep things simple. I rarely even …
Some of you might remember the city light photos and shaken camera light photos I posted in a couple of blogs last winter. Well, in early October I went out on my balcony one night, like I often do to get some air, and I liked the look of the lights in the buildings along …
For some reason I have always loved stark minimal photos of buildings, even though I don’t necessarily want to live or hangout in those type of places. I just like the simplicity of those photos. On a foggy day, in late September, I took some shots like that in Winnipeg. Enjoy! If you go to …
One morning in late September it was very foggy in Winnipeg. Normally I would have been out the door, with my camera, rather quickly, but I had a one hour online meeting. By the time I got outside the sun had come upon and had burned through much of the mist. I did manage to …
When I walk in my neighbourhood I often look down, not just to find photo opportunities, but so I don’t step on dog messes. There are lots of high-rise apartment buildings nearby and a lot of the people in them seem to own dogs that walk the sidewalks with them. Anyway, looking down does offer …
