Hope
late this past winter (before the pandemic) I was able to get up to Algonquin provincial Park for some photography. While it's a place held close to the hearts of many Ontarians, I've honestly always struggled to photograph the park in a way that resonated with me. Experiencing the park on a blustery winter day was absolutely refreshing. The moving patterns of light beams and and blowing snow created some incredibly dynamic and exciting conditions.
I named the image "hope" back when I took the image because of the juxtaposition between the beautiful/hospitable light and the aggressive cold weather/blowing snow - insinuating some positive signs amid an inhospitable environment. Looking back on that naming several months later and after some serious world-wide change, I think the name is even more fitting. Here's to hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
Taken with a Canon 5DIV, a 24-70 f/2.8L ii, and a lee landscape polarizer. Processed from three images (base exposure, best light beams, best blowing snow) in camera raw and photoshop. I always try to disclose when I do any photo combining, and this one needed 3 images to get all the elements from the scene where I wanted them.
