Waterloo Park Sunrise
This is a different photo from the one I posted Sunday... same morning, but a change in clouds/light.
60s exposure to get the motion in the clouds, and to get the water nice and smooth.

Sunrise at Waterloo Park
I woke up to rain and overcast skies... I wavered about going out, but I decided to take the trip with my fingers crossed. Got there to more rain and overcast skies. I did some quick night photos, and decided to leave. But 2 minutes away I noticed some sky clearing

Love the snowy mornings! Well, on weekends at least. I wanted to get some photos of the snow on trees with the leaves still showing... SUCCESS! And I didn't slide into a ditch either, so double-win... I think these are going to print very nicely.

Dance like no one's watching
I love including motion in photos... it helps to capture the energy of the moment.

Went out for some early morning light and colour shots with my daughter and our vintage dress. As always, we had so much fun...

Piers
Quicker shutter speed than the last one, so I could get more definition in the waves... but still have things soft.

50 Point again... while we didn't get much of a sunrise for shooting, we did get some nice, muted colours during the blue hour. OM-3, 40-150f4Pro@111mm, iso200, f7.1, 15s.

Waves Overrun
50 Point was serving up some big waves at sunrise this morning... the pilings were disappearing into the water. This was a 15 second exposure to try to bring it all together.

Another from our shoot at Victoria Park (Kitchener).
Used the AD200 to create the pool of light and shadow, and used the B&W for drama...

I like shooting the advancing/retreating waves... I end up with many dozens of photos that all look completely different!
