Photo of the Week 2012-10-29

I've captured a lot of images over the past couple of months and I needed to make some time to go back through the catalog and find the gems waiting inside. I decided to go back to my Manitoulin trip in mid September. I arrived late Thursday evening in the pouring rain and took the time to shoot Friday morning before my work day started.

When I left the hotel early in the morning, I was about to head for breakfast at a local restaurant when I noticed the mist lingering and sunlight just beginning to flow around the scattered clouds. A location near fallow fields caught my attention and presented some great scenic opportunities as daylight arrived.


... picking a spot along a gravel road, I set up to watch as sunlight began to warm the morning.

warming touch of sunrise

... still more to come from this period.

evening dunes


A recent business trip had me back on Manitoulin Island and after checking out a couple of possible locations to make some sunset images, I decided to return to Providence Bay where I made one of my favourite images two years ago. I arrived well in advance of sunset and decided to kill some time by walking along the beach. I made my way along the waters edge walking into the sun for about 15 minutes before heading across the dunes to return on the boardwalk. When I started heading back I saw the golden light on the dormant dune grass and stopped to make a series of images including this one.
