Before and After⁠
Into The Mist⁠
⁠
The last decade had a lot of firsts, milestones even, and this image was one of those for so many reasons! This Images was almost deleted, I mean it was THAT close....finger over the delete button close.⁠
⁠
But then just like the moment the Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day, I had a moment of clarity. No, I didn't save Whoville, but I did save this image. Not only did I challenge myself to make it what I saw in my mind that day, I wanted to do it only using Adobe Lightroom.⁠
⁠
This image became one of my signature images and was my first featured image by Google and it has been viewed online in excess of 1 billion times. It was featured on Chromecast and became one of my signature images.⁠
⁠
How did I do it? That's a story for another day ;-)⁠

THROWBACK THURSDAY⁠
⁠
A little summer colour from a Bruce Peninsula Wildflower trip several years ago. The colour complements in this image are what drew me in and the beautiful afternoon backlight. When photographing the backlight the camera's meter will want to give you an average scene exposure which can result in a dark image or even a silhouette but I wanted the light and airy feeling of a summer afternoon so I intentionally overexposed the image to get what I felt better represented the feeling of the scene.⁠

❓❓❓⁠ DID YOU KNOW ⁠ Very often these are

❓❓❓⁠
DID YOU KNOW
⁠
Very often these are called Inuksuk but it really isn’t one. This is, in fact, an inunnguaq. ⁠
I know right!? ... all this time I thought it was an #inukshuk ⁠
What’s the difference?⁠
⁠
An inunnguaq — a human shaped stone structure — was use as inspiration for 2010 Vancouver Olympics. These have distinct body shapes with legs, An Inukshuk on the other hand is a vertical arrangement of rocks but isn't so much shaped like a person but is a marker. ⁠
⁠
Both are used by the Inuit people of Nunavut in Northern Canada The Inukshuk was/is used to work like a signpost to make a good hunting or fishing spot, or as a directional marker or even to mark a food cache.⁠
⁠
Inunnguaq on the other hand were shaped like human beings and could venerate a person, mark a spot for people to meet, or have spiritual significance. ⁠
⁠
Now you know 😀⁠

Sunset on Lake Huron⁠
⁠
Earlier I shared an image of my camera growing frost and you may have thought, "why in the world would you be out in those conditions on purpose?? I mean surely there was a warm fire and a hot drink waiting somewhere right? Well yes, eventually but not before I gave it my best shot and for a very brief few minutes, the sun did break through before it disappears behind clouds and the falling temperature became a little too much to endure⁠
⁠
The only way to get images like these is to be there, with the right gear, camera and clothing, and be ready for when it happens.⁠
