Ah, the beach. Sun, sand, water and waves! We all think of the Mediterranean, Bahamas or Mexico for this. Some of the finest beaches are located in Nova Scotia. Granted, winter temps as you will see later in this post are not very conducive to sunbathing here.
But it doesn’t mean those beaches shouldn’t be visited. The more spectacular views of the beaches are in fall and winter.
Getting somewhere. Some say it’s not about the destination, it’s all about the journey. I agree with that, most of the time. Those who claim it’s all about the journey probably never went to a dentist. For any other expedition, backroads are my favourite roads.
The highway is fine to get from point A to point B, yet going through points C to Z or Alpha to Omega is much more interesting.
You have to admit it. Taking pictures in daytime is one thing, but night time changes perspectives. When I still had a film camera back in the good ole film days, taking pictures was mainly a daytime activity. By night it was too dark to either focus or even determine if exposure was going to be sufficient.
Today, the digital cameras allow us to check that on the spot and, most of the time, to correct it as well.
Ah, the promise of a romantic evening and night at the end of the day. For some, there is nothing better than to curl up on the couch, watch [something] with a glass of [something] and wait until darkness arrives.
While some nights are perfect for that, other evenings are better suited for photographers and their urge to be outside an shoot something. Ok, that’s a lot of “somethings” in two paragraphs…
How do you prepare for a field trip? That’s a question I get often. The answer has become a bit more complicated over time. While at first, it was a simple matter of getting in the car and drive, today’s method is a little more involved.
When you “only” have a simple point and shoot camera, not even a camera phone, then getting ready for a trip is done in seconds. When you get more gear, the preparation gets longer.
