Georgian Bay and the Bay of Fundy

Earlier in the summer, I did a kayak trip north of Parry Sound with some friends. Late in the day, the sun broke through the cloud for a few minutes, bathing the Painted Rocks (Charles Inlet) in golden light. I ran around quicly snapping a few shots before it was gone. See below:
On another kayak trip, this time to Sans Souci near Parry Sound, I caught this image right at sunset. When the sky is clear, begin shooting into the sun when it is a thumb's-width, at arm's length above the horizon. This will yield the best results without blowing out the sky. In this shot, I also had to brighten the foreground using Fill Light in Lightroom.


Stopping at Riviere du Loup, I caught this image with the late day sun reflecting off the bow of this bateau on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.



At Cape Blomidon, Nova Scotia, I found these great sandstone sculptures reminiscent of Arizona. I was happy to shoot these in nice light and add them to my collection.  This, I am sure, is a little known location. I had to ask a farmer's permission to cross his land to get to them. I only noticed them while admiring the view from a high overlook in the distance.





While camped in the area I had this magnificent view over the Bay of Fundy. This is a 6 shot panorama:

I discovered the sandstone formations while admiring this view from The Overlook at Cape Blomidon:
