Bluffs sunset in February. I took some photos at this spot about an hour before but sky wasn’t as intense. I was packing up my gear when I looked back and knew I had to try a few more exposures. Sometimes the best light is after the sun as set.

Looking west at Bluffers Park on an overcast day. This is a long exposure photo as you can tell by the appearance of the water and the slight blur to the tree branches in the foreground. I like the effect and the moodiness of the image.

Facing south on Lake Ontario at one of Bluffers Park’s beaches. This was taken after the sun had gone down which made for a great long exposure but focusing was a little difficult.

Early morning on Glencairn Golf Course in Milton. It’s not quite Scotland but this rock wall reminds me of the landscape.

A Port Carling sunrise on Lake Rosseau at 5:46 AM. This is the view from the deck of a boathouse.

Early morning at a cottage in Port Carling. A photo of Muskoka Chairs is a little too cliché but I’ve never taken one until now and well, they provide some foreground interest in the photo.

Birdhouses at Glencairn Golf Course in Milton.

I did a shoot for Muskoka Woods last month at Glencairn Golf Course. This was taken at dawn. The clubhouse is off in the distance.

Chedoke Falls isn’t very easy to get to but the view in this gorge is spectacular. This is one of two waterfalls at this location.
I used a book called
Waterfalls of Ontario by George Fischer and Mark Harris to find this spot. It’s a great resource and one that I’ll be using again to find more locations to shoot.

This is a smaller waterfall at Chedoke Falls. The rusty red colour of the shale is unusual and contrasts nicely with the green colour of some of the rocks.

On St. Patrick’s Day there was fresh snow on the ground and the temperature was rising. This meant melting snow — a great time to visit the Hamilton area for a look at some waterfalls.

Another view of Sterling Pond at Smuggler’s Notch, Vermont. It smells like Christmas trees up there.

Train tracks beside the Otter River in Vermont. Taken early morning.

Goldenrod at the Scarborough Bluffs near my house. I wasn’t willing to wait all day for the wind to die down so some of the goldenrod is blurred but I like the rich colour that the overcast weather provides.

The sun was setting as I was driving into Rutland, Vermont. I noticed this church out of the corner of my eye, grabbed my 300 mm telephoto and took several photos. The sky wasn’t very interesting so I cropped the image.

A yellow maple tree near Waterbury, Vermont. I spent about an hour removing wires from this photo but felt it was worth it. I really like the autumn colour in this photo and the way the golden maple tree ‘pops’ in the foreground.

Some pines and a cabin on a lake in Vermont. The sun was setting and shining on the yellow Maples in the distance. This photo is a combination of two exposures to bring out some detail in the sky. I did a square crop so that my horizon wasn’t in the middle of the photo.

Sterling Pond is at the top of Smuggler’s Notch, Vermont. It’s a 1.2 mile climb to get here but the scenery and the view’s are great. ISO 100, 0.6 seconds at f22, 21mm, tripod.

Some waterfalls just north of Middlebury, VT. I like how the diagonal cuts through the frame and provides a strong contrast between the flowing water. The light was also filtering through some trees behind me, casting some nice shadows on the water.

A cemetery I came across on Route 7A in Vermont. This was taken before sunrise when the grass and headstones were covered in frost. I converted the image to black and white and made a few exposure adjustments in Photoshop.

Panoramic view just south of Stowe, VT. The early morning light was just creeping over the mountains and lighting up the tops of the trees. ISO 100, 1/8 second at f22, 225mm, tripod.

The Otter River in southwestern Vermont. When I was driving along Route 7, I noticed the mist rising off the river and pulled over to take a series of photos.

A hayfield in central Vermont. This photo is a ‘blended image’ — first photo is exposed for the sky, the other exposed for the foreground and then blended together in Photoshop for what you see here. Some minor curves and level adjustments were made as well.

Moss Glen Falls, just north of Granville, Vermont on Route 100. The best looking waterfall in the state (and the most accessible). I shot this just after 6 PM, in the rain, with very little light. Perfect weather for shooting waterfalls! ISO 400, 10 seconds at f11, 17mm, tripod.

The grass covered dunes along the beach in Southampton, Ontario. Sunrise. 1/25s at f11, 17mm, ISO 100.

An early morning view of Lake Kashabog at a friend’s cottage. This photo was cropped a little to remove the sky.

Some crops at Holland Marsh, Ontario. Possibly carrots? I love the symmetry of the rows and the fresh tire tracks at the bottom of the frame.

Sunrise at Scarborough Bluffs beach. This is an HDR photo with some levels adjustments.

A susnset on Lake Huron — Southampton, Ontario. Camera data: 30 seconds at f22, ISO 100, 23mm, tripod. I probably should have taken a few photos at f16 to reduce the blur in some of the clouds. Next time.

Somewhere along Highway 9, south of Mildmay, Ontario. Camera data: 1/20 seconds at f16, ISO 100, 25mm, tripod.

Another view of Webster’s Falls. This time the water was a little warmer and I could stand in the river with my Crocs to take this photo.

A farmer’s field in Daytonia Beach, Ontario. Taken with the a Canon 50mm lens which is great in low light. 1/320 second at f7.1, ISO 400, handheld. I cropped it to remove a fence that was in the foreground and like the panoramic look.

5:53 AM on Lake Kashabog. This is taken off a dock that would move whenever I shifted my weight. It took about a minute to get everything still before I pressed the shutter. Some levels and curves adjustments in Photoshop. Camera data: 0.6 seconds at f22, ISO 100, 19mm, tripod.

6 AM on Lake Kashabog. As the sun came up there was a lot of mist drifting across the lake. Camera data: 0.8 seconds at f16, 17mm, tripod.

Bridge at Antietam National Battlefield, Maryland. 1/8s at f22. ISO 100, tripod.

Some farmland outside Altoona, PA. This is one of the many incredible views along Highway 220 in Pensylvannia.

The observation tower at Bloody Lane, Antietam National Battlefield, Maryland. It was a peaceful Sunday morning when I took this photo. Just behind me was a field where one of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War took place—23,000 men died in one day of fighting.

Just north of Harrisburg, PA I pulled the car into Rest Area to take this photo. The light was incredible and I can’t get over how painterly the image looks. Since I started shooting digital last year, this is without question, my favourite photo.

Sunrise on Lake Ontario. Taken at the bottom of the Doris McCarthy Trail. This photo is a composite of three others. I used a 0.6 neutral density filter and a polarizer to get a longer exposure.

I came across this waterfall on
Bowen Island near Vancouver last week. I didn’t have a tripod, so resting my camera on the rocks, I was able to get a four second exposure of this image at f22.
Posted on February 15, 2006
A view from the bottom of Webster’s Falls. I bracketed a few exposures for this shot so that sky wasn’t blown out.

Here’s a view of Webster’s Falls from last weekend. Hard to believe that it was 8 degrees Celsius in late January.

Here’s a view from the Scarborough Bluffs looking east toward Pickering. The sun and the mild weather made it a great day to sludge through the mud and take some photos.

A snowmobile path between a row of pines near Hockley Valley, Ontario.

Sunset at the Scarborough Bluffs. 4:30 PM. It was very cold by the lake but worth the short walk to set up the tripod and watch the sun drop. ISO 100, 1/6s at f/22. 17-40@36mm.
Posted on December 14, 2005
A view of the Scarborough Bluffs just off the Doris McCarthy Trail. 100 ISO, 1/25, f/22, 17-40@17mm, tripod.

This was taken at the bottom of Webster’s Falls along the Bruce Trail.

Webster’s Falls in Hamilton. This was shot late in the day which made the exposure a little tricky. I’ll have to take another go at this location.
Canon EOS 350D, EF17-40mm at 17mm, 0.6s at f/16, 100 ISO, tripod.
