Canadian Rockies

I know I've been neglecting this blog, as usual. But I figured I'd update it a little with my best photos from this past year. In July I finally got to see the Canadian Rockies. I flew to Edmonton to be the photographer for a friends wedding, then spent about a week camping in Jasper National Park. I also took the amazing drive down the Ice Fields Parkway to Banff. 

*note. Some photos seem over saturated or grainy. I don't know why, something to do with Bloggers upload. Just wanted to clarify that's not how they are intended to look, but I dont know how to fix that on this page.

Tobermory Sunset

I tend not to shoot much in the winter months. It's a combination of a hatred of the cold and low levels of interest in snowy landscapes. This winter has been especially bad. So in these dreary months I find myself looking back through my folders of photos from the previous summer. 

Recently I went back to the photos from a trip to Tobermory in June. The photos below are from the best sunset I got to shoot in all of 2013. I had already edited and posted these photos when I got home from that trip. But something was lacking. I liked them, but they're weren't great. I didn't spend much time on them at the time because I had a week's worth of beautiful photos from one of my favourite places in Ontario. 

So the other day I revisited these two photos and gave them the attention they deserved from the start. Not only was this my favourite sunset of the year, I think these two photos are the highlight of my photography in 2013.
