Thunder Bay – Saturday

Mostly overcast sky this morning but not along the horizon.  Nice early colour.  Most people coming sown for the sunrise miss this stuff.  WE are looking at around an hour before sunrise. Pretty impressive. and then it slowly fades away Not sure about this scene. I did not look in the bag. Its the one … Read more

Thunder Bay – Friday

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

Thunder Bay – Thursday – New Years Day

Thunder Bay – Saturday
