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. 

Welcome Back

I apologize for the lack of content here lately. I've been trying to come up with an interesting approach as to what to do with this blog space. Recently I've been answering some questions from people on Facebook about my photography and how I go about creating some of my images. I don't talk much about my photos (or in general, really) but when someone asks me a photography question my reply is often a lot longer than I  intend it to be.

I'm no where near being an expert on the topic, but I have been doing this for years now and I'm finally starting to feel confident about my abilities, especially in areas like night photography. Although I'm not past the long nights of shooting and coming home with nothing but junk.

I would also like to use this space to do a little more writing. That's the main reason I started this blog anyway. So, in the near future you can expect some tutorials and ramblings to materialize around here. Until then, here are a few of my favourite recent photos. Enjoy. -Cale.
