Photo of the Week 2020-06-29


On the longest day of the year I decided to go out and capture sunset.

Sunset Road
I noticed the colour of the sky out our front window and grabbed a camera as I made for the truck to find a location where I could capture something more than just a sunset on the horizon. I ended up on the crest of the hill above Wilson Flats.

After making this shot, I went down to the river parking lot where I ran into Denis from our local photo club and we chatted until the mosquitoes made us say goodnight and head inside the vehicles.

... and now the sun turns around and starts it's march south in the evening sky.

Photo of the Week 2020-03-02

A variety of looks and moods just by seeking out all that a location has to offer during a single outing ...

When the day started crisp and cold with traces of frost on everything out the front window, I knew I had to grab some gear and head out. There were a number of locations that came to mind so I just started driving and eventually chose to visit some favoured spots along the Grand River, west of Inverhaugh.

Hoping to find frost covered scenery, I wasn't disappointed as I turned onto the road heading down to Wilson Flats. The sun was still low in the morning sky, highlighting the frost rimmed branches of trees and anything else in the low lying flood plain.

The question was "where to start". There were so many options for what to shoot and I certainly didn't want to loose the magical atmosphere after the sun had climbed higher in the sky. So I took a deep breath, looked around and just start shooting ...

All images were shot in a 45 minute window, only "steam frost" was shot a short drive from the others, all made at Wilson Flats within a few hundred meters of each other just looking in different directions.
