A predawn drive through Atlanta yielded two shots of this fast moving OCS before work. I was initially planning on just getting one shot but its hard to break away from something this nice!
The novice mistake from a few years ago, photographing nearby Crummock Water instead of Buttermere (Doh), were long forgotten. Not much of a dawn to speak of, however, the purple hues early doors made for some interesting long exposure work.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
I went to shoot a time-lapse at the pier this morning and took the time to take some long exposure images before starting the time-lapse. I’m glad I did as the sun never made an appearance. By the time the sun rose the horizon was covered with clouds, nothing like shown in this image. The long exposure gave a somewhat surreal look to the pier and rally showed off the decorative shade covers. (Sony a9iii, 12-24mm lens @12mm, f/5.6, 121 seconds, ISO 125)
Each Autumn I try to time a visit to Wedge Pond so that it will render some colorful work. The landscape is nestled in a kind of bowl inside the mountain range. The sizable pond is surrounded by trees while access from the highway is easy with convenient parking.
Take heed though, there will be a plethera of photographers at this wonderful place most mornings. This predawn image delivered a violet cast in the sky, while the trees stoicly held their color back until later when the sun rose.
Explore 105, thank you.
This morning brought more than just a successful bucket list checkmark, it also goes down as the coldest predawn trek I’d ever made over 12 hour old snow pack to reach the rock beach I sought to make this image. When I pre-set my gear the evening before I miscalculated the focal length I’d need to make the half mile distant shot, so after a dive into my vest for the 70-200 this and only a few more images were made before the sherbet sky was gone, and I was completely frost bitten. I was proud however at how the old workhorse 1DX functioned flawlessly in the mid twenties…, and thankful to God for giving me one clear morning among so many miserable white-out days — during the great northern mid-west blizzard of April, 2022!

My brother and fellow photographer, Mark Campbell, recently posted an old photo from a trip we took together to Flowerpot Island in 2019. This encouraged me to look back on my images from that trip and I came across this image that I had previously not published.
This is long exposure pre-dawn image looking out into Georgian Bay with one of the iconic Flowerpots on the left hand side and the distant Bears Rump Island on the right.
Thanks for viewing and please check out my brothers profile as well. He has a keen eye for the interesting and is a wondeful photographer so please give him a follow if you like his work.

I was hoping to get to the Woolpacks for some wonderful gritstone features in the foreground. But I didn't make it up in time. I'm quite happy with this old sheepfold.

I spent a pre-dawn hour on a rooftop this morning, waiting for the sun to rise and shine on Detroit.

I had planned sunrise photos at this location and arrived much earlier than anticipated. It was still quite dark, so I thought I might experiment with some light painting. I used the flashlight that I kept in my car for emergency purposes. Since the time that this photo was taken, I've done some research and now have some light panels that I'll be working with in the future.
Many thanks for the views, faves and comments !! I wish everyone a good week !
Soft dawn mist drifts low—
a hush over crimson skies,
fields breathe in silence.
The world, not yet awakened,
holds its breath in glowing light.
Landscape shrouded in mist.
The little village has a festive look during the darkest days of December. I made this shot before dawn, earlier this month, but it can represent Christmas morning. Centre Street, Val Marie.
This place can be charming. Some teenagers came around last week and sang on my doorstep. Three of them, appropriately distanced and masked. They left a box of homemade treats with me: fudge, cookies. My friend Madonna received three different kids at her place, so obviously they had split up to sweep the town. That was so sweet. Where else does this happen?

One from a couple of weeks ago. Which feels like an age away now.
I'd got up late, driven between two locations and had to run onto Balsow Edge, but stopped for a few shots. This being the first one, looking back to the car park.

Wednesday morning, the second snowy day
There was enough snow to make the Upper Dove hills look very white. Some very interesting sky colour predawn, and fog covering Axe Edge on the distance. Unfortunately the sun was hidden by cloud on the eastern horizon so I didn't get to see these hills flushed by the early sun, and once the sun came out the lighting was very harsh, but I was still very pleased with the day
As soon as I said that we never get colorful skies with fog, ....
....we get colorful skies with fog.
Taken 20 minutes before sunrise.
More heavy and dense fog predicted for tomorrow morning!
I just love how the fog moves across the cropland.
Another series from one of my exercise rides in the morning. This is taken at dawn just before the sunrise. It captures the scene across the harbour and the people in Kayaks doing their morning exercise. Always a beautiful time to be up and about.
Red sky stretches wide—
mist clings to the waking fields,
soft as breath on glass.
A hush before the birdcall
holds the world in quiet awe.
Pre dawn.
Montreal-bound commuters anxiously wait for Canadian National #149 to clear the crossing so that they can cross over and catch their soon to arrive EXO train which is on the parallel Canadian Pacific line. Good news! They made it.
Oddly enough when I approached this crossing the next morning the gates came down for #149, then just as #149 cleared and eastbound intermodal came through. I was trying to get across to shoot an eastbound EXO train in the predawn darkness. I made it, only to discover that I didn't have a plate to use to attach my camera to the tripod. I had to make do with high ISO and trackside objects to substitute for the tripod.
Leftovers. We won't get to the coast to see the hurricane surf today.
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...
The 14-year-old Nikon D3x is my favorite, but a terrible choice for shooting in the dark :D
After some stunning pink hues predawn, the sun started lighting up the hills, the mist started to lift and a walker climbs Parkhouse, a very cold -11 but worth every minute!

A small break in the clouds allow the predawn light to illuminate the low clouds over this frosty November field.
I went out this morning, seeing that maybe there was a chance of some nice color if the clouds would cooperate. The conditions were just right as this amazing scene opened up. ( I did not add anything to this image, saturation or vibrance ) I had to hurry though because about 5 mins after this the sun started to rise and the clouds decided enough was enough and took over leaving the scene a dull blueish grey.
