Haven’t been to this park since I was a kid, but while on the run from wildfires this sprint we were driving different routes and ended up stopping back here for a few moments on a very blustery day. Truly one of Nova Scotia’s most impressive Provincial Parks.

Bug Light, Portland ME.

Some shots taken at Baxter Harbour Falls on an outing with the local camera club.

It had been awhile since I’d made a dedicated trip out for some golden hour photography, and sunrise is still reasonably late so I managed to drag myself out of bed at 6am to head a few minutes away from home. Forecast was for a mix of sun and cloud, about as good as you could hope for so I figured it was worth the gamble. I was hoping for sun coming in under the cloud cover, but things ended up a little reversed....

Most of these taken with my new FujiFilm XF 23mm f/2 which I’m enjoying the bump in sharpness, and the focal length which matches a lot of my favorite shots. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but the next day I was quite happy with the composition of the shot of the rocks at the point of Cape Forchu. This could be epic with a sunset redo and I might have to make the effort to get down there for it some morning when I’m in the area....

This was an event with the local camera club I’d been looking forward to for a long time, but ended up being a little more complicated than I’d hoped. It wasn’t particularly cold but was blowing so hard the windchill became a pretty major factor. Ended up being too cold to think straight and I had a hard time focusing. None the less, found a few images I liked especially once the sun was down and we got into blue hour....
