Your Bio

I am an avid photographer with an interest in nature and people photography. This site is where I put many of my photos taken for myself or my family. It is just for fun.

Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you do or don't like. Friendly suggestions are always welcome. I appreciate hearing from the people who view the pictures on this page. It is helpful to me to hear what you have to say about my photos.

A selected number of photos are available for purchase at http://www.chrisunderwoodimages.com. I also offer photo services for people in the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge area in Ontario, Canada. Details are on the other site.

I hold the copyright on all photos on this page except where specifically listed. Should you wish to use one of my photos for a purpose other than personal viewing, I would appreciate a note so we can discuss it. Some photos belong to people who participate in the same bulletin boards as myself. In those cases, I have borrowed their picture - with permission - to help show a specific post processing technique. I then link through to this site from the bulletin board.

Thank you.

Columbia Lake (Waterloo) - 2009 : It is time to create a gallery devoted to the wildlife of Columbia Lake. This "lake" is part of the flood control for the area, and is on the University of Waterloo Campus. However, it is also the home to a wide variety of wildlife. I have seen Red Tail Hawks, Terns, Sea Gulls, Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, and numerous other birds there. I have also seen some deer. The beautiful thing about it is that it is a 5 minute walk from my front door to the edges of the natural area next to the lake. I have included in this gallery photos taken in the whole nature preserve of which Columbia Lake is but a part.

Snyder's Flats 2009 : Snyder's Flats is located just outside of Waterloo, Ontario in an old gravel pit beside the town of Bloomingdale. It is under the management of the Grand River Conservation Authority and is home to a surprising amount of wildlife considering how close the the city it is. I for one am very glad that it is all flood plain and cannot be developed.

Things at random : There is no particular theme to the pictures in this gallery. Think of them as those that do not fit nicely into the established categories. The mix is likely to get eclectic.
