A while ago, we went to the Ovens Natural Park. That was at a time when the temperatures were still reasonable. At least during the day. Somehow, I always find a way to go camping when the night temps drop to near freezing.
That was no different this time. Happily, my sleeping bag is one I bought in Winnipeg and can resist until –20C.
The landscape of tech has changed a lot over the past 15 years. With “Tech” I mean photography as well as electronics, such as computers, printers, or even audio gear.
Back when I had just arrived in Winnipeg, there was a great store called Future Shop in Polo Park.
The perspective of a city, any city, is usually from the streets. After all, streets are what a city has the most of. But some cities have more options than others.
Halifax is such a city. The famous Harbour Hopper service allows tourists to get a tour of the city through the streets and finish with a tour on the water, all inside the same vehicle.
It has been a long time since I went out in the dark to shoot the night sky. Skies here in Nova Scotia are more often than not covered by a layer of “something”. Lately, that has been smoke from forest fires, before it was the usual clouds.
Add to that that shooting the night sky from the same beaches over and over again is somewhat boring, and you end up with me not going to shoot in the night. So, a few days ago we decided to spend a night at a campground.
Summertime. Time of heat, heatwaves, thunderstorms and lazy days on the water. Recently, I went on a trip to Brier Island, Nova Scotia. For those who know, those trips are whale-watching trips.
Personally, I don’t care for fishing, even if my life depended on it. No, I like to watch them, see what they are up to and so on. Photography for this comes in second.
