Fortunately, I was able to get two images I like. One is of the hull of the BYC utility boat,\u00c2\u00a0Recovery<\/em>, and the other is a close-up of a blue weathered rudder. I hope you enjoy – leave some love (or loving criticism).<\/p>\n
Today is the last full day I have with my family in Brockville, Ontario, and my father and I figured we ought to spend some time outside practicing our photographic skills (playing with our cameras, really). While aspirations for a full afternoon in the wilderness fizzled in the face of necessary errands and post-lunch fatigue (on my part, not my father’s), we were able to make it to the Brockville Yacht Club for a short while. After all, it is a place full of interesting shapes, colours and textures – my father has gotten some great shots there over the years.<\/p>\n
Here’s the problem – I’m “Arctic Tim”, meaning I should know that if it is cold outside, I should dress warmly. My warm clothes, however, are in the back of my car waiting for me in Winnipeg. I figured the eastern Ontario winter would pale in comparison with northern Manitoba winter, so I put on my finest loafers and we went for our stroll. Then it snowed. It snowed on top of the mountains of snow we got a week ago. Very quickly, my feet got wet and cold. This, combined with the fading natural light, cut short our little expedition. The lesson here is:\u00c2\u00a0always dress\/plan for the conditions you expect to photograph in!<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0It seems obvious, but most notable and illusive truths do.<\/p>\n Fortunately, I was able to get two images I like.
