Getting up at a ridiculous hour to shoot a sunrise is not for the faint of heart. A few years ago I overheard one of our photo club members refer to it as "Stupid O'Clock" and I immediately stole it as part of my photographer's lexicon. It's not quite as stupid in January as it…Read more Stupid O’Clock

Here are a few random winter scenes I've captured over the past couple of weeks. D'Aubin's Cove is adjacent to world famous Peggy's Cove. Smelt Brook is a lovely little brook that empties into St. Margaret's Bay. It's a fun place to capture slow shutter speed images of moving water. Enjoy!

Duncan's Cove is located at the mouth of Halifax Harbour, about a 30 minute drive from the city. A couple of weeks ago my friend Kevin and I hiked the Duncan's Cove Trail so we could capture some wave action. It was chilly but there was an offshore breeze that day so we were protected…Read more Duncan’s Cove

Dumping Day is the day fishers in Areas 33 & 34 (Nova Scotia's South Shore) place their lobster traps in the water. This year it was delayed for 24 hours due to high winds and rough seas but they got the go ahead to leave at 7:00 am on November 26. It was chilly at…Read more Lobster Season Begins

I've said it before and I'll say it again - photographers love clouds! Take a boring blue sky and add a few clouds and suddenly it's transformed into something much more interesting. Here are a few more images from my cloud chasing adventure last week. Enjoy! Click on any thumbnail to view a full sized…Read more Summer Clouds – Part 2

Photographers love clouds! One of the great things about summer in Nova Scotia is the cloud formations that build over the land. The heat and humidity create massive cloud banks which often lead to showers and occasionally thundershowers. I took a drive west along Hwy 3 and south on 329 a few days ago to…Read more Summer Clouds – Part 1
