Most of the time, when I take the first few photographs, its fairly dark. I underexpose and bracket my shots so as not to blow out the highlights plus producing an HDR image with lots of exposure leeway when editing. In other words, I have no idea what the final photo will look like. Turns … Read more

Do they still sell Cragmont soda? Safeway used to sell the stuff. Some more colour So close. Coors and Lake of the Woods … Read more
When there is nothing else, photograph the lighthouse. It proves that I was down there. and the grain elevators…. and Keefer.. and Pier 3… With no sunrise and some fresh snow, I thought I would try and take some photos using the contrast and shadows. This one is on the extreme side with intense blacks … Read more
