' Moody Skies at Burnt Point '

A Black & White treatment seemed appropriate for the moody skies over Georgian Bay ... well it did given I've been working to keep B&W as an option when shooting and processing.

 

As I work my way through captures from last year, I came across this image that I liked but lacked something in colour. I decided to flip to B&W and process to the moody feel that I had when viewing the scene in person.

I've found a couple of pretty little inlets along the Burnt Point Trail that provide a northeastern views out over north Georgian Bay. The morning scenes there can be quite varied depending on the hour, the weather and the water conditions.

On my most recent visit with relatively calm water under dramatic skies and rain threatening, I decided the scene suited a high contrast B&W IR image.

On an overcast morning a couple of weeks previously, I captured a different mood with a conventional colour exposure.

... very pleased to have been contacted by Bruce Peninsula National Park / Parks Canada recently, regarding my photography.

After seeing some of my recent winter images of the Grotto and Indian Head Cove, they wanted to know what else I had that might suit their need for a wall display at the visitor centre and an upcoming project that I'll keep quiet until it's launched.

I attended an open house at the visitor centre this past weekend, where staff provided updates on the changes planned for BPNP / FFNP.  And was surprised to find one image they had licensed, already printed and displayed.

The park had a record year for visitors in 2016 and many had to be turned away from Cypress Lake, the Grotto and Indian Head Cove as the location can't take traffic at the level of demand experienced. This was part of the reason for the open house as park staff discussed potential improvements and plans to address the increased popularity while protecting the natural environment.

My image above of Burnt Point, was selected for display to show arriving visitors some of the other scenery accessible along the trail network in the park.
