This just might be one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken. We found this secluded spot on a whim and I could not believe the views from here. Not only was everything beautifully frozen, but we had a nice view of the sky and sunset as well. There were tree branches everywhere and I thought they added some natural framing to the shot.
Most people would spend days like this indoors but many photographers love venturing out to see what frozen landscapes they can find. It was around -20°C on this day and I was for sure freezing my butt and fingers off. Even so, I enjoyed sitting on one of the rocks to relax and enjoy the view. If I listened closely, I could hear the sounds of ice cracking from one side of the shore to the other.
After taking a bunch of photos, I was reluctant to leave but it was very cold and the chill was starting to set in. I’m curious to see what this place looks like in the summer.
I really liked how sunlight was bouncing off the green grass and leaves in this scene. It was such a quintessential summer landscape that I had to take a photo. I framed the two empty chairs in the distance between the two trees as I thought it was visually appealing. I love using scenes in nature to frame my subject whenever I have the opportunity to do so.
Some simple shots of two industrial-like scenes. I liked the horizontal lines of the train tracks and the vertical lines of the columns illuminated by the golden sunlight.
An orange hazy summer sunset. The haze in the air is very obvious looking at the last photograph. After the sunset started to fade, I looked over to my right and was captivated by the foggy landscape.
Haze in the sky resulted in this stunning sunset where you could see the sun as a defined circle in the sky. This in turn lead into a gorgeous pink and purple sky once the sun started to sink below the horizon.
Dandelions in sunlight. Yes, they’re weeds but they’re so gorgeous when the sun shines down on them. There were so many and their tops were illuminated so nicely and looked like tiny little halos.
A vivid hazy sunset leads to the sun’s shape being fully visible in the sky. The cloud formations that came next were super pretty and I couldn’t resist taking a shot of the tree branches against the pretty sky!
A vivid red sunset during spring. I had fun editing this one to look a bit darker to accentuate the sun’s round shape. I love when hazy sunsets provide us with a beautiful view of the sun!
