Beach Beautiful

July 27, 2016

Fog at Green Point, Long Beach
Grey everywhere as the early morning fog drifts in and out.
Mother Nature gets out the simple, minimalist, and beautiful brushes.

Evening Sky Colour

July 26, 2016

Evening Colour at Green Point
We’re back from a short break on the west coast. We stayed in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and yes, there was some of the forecast grey (and fog) but also some puffy white clouds on an intense blue background. So for the next five or six days, please enjoy images from the south-east end of Long Beach.

Summer Solstice, Coastal Sunset

June 21, 2016

Summer Solstice Sunset 2016
Intense coastal colour at Chesterman Beach during the Summer Solstice.

Sunsets require you to take many digital images in your quest of getting the best image possible. And that’s what happened here. In hopes of getting the scene at it’s very best, it’s common to start when the scene is lovely and keep shooting as it gets better and better (in this case intense colour and reflection) and not stopping until the scene is visibly past its prime.

This image was taken about 30 minutes after sunset, and before the sky became too dark and dull. It’s presented as seen, and as shot—without gobs of filters or over-editing. (only a bit of contrast and a tiny bit of sharpening). At this point in the sunset, it was getting dark. Attempting to show exactly what was shot, I did not adjust the brightness.

What an amazing start to summer.
