Spring Dawn at Pointe au Baril, Georgian Bay, Ontario

Mar 28

Sometimes a post doesn’t need a lengthy explanation. I hadn’t been back to Canada in years, but last May I went back for my mom’s ceremony. Then I headed up to my friend’s cottage at Pointe au Baril on Georgian Bay. It’s famously the landscape immortalized in paintings by the Group of Seven.

I don’t paint, but I had a Sony, with a Loxia 35/2, and snapped this shot at dawn.

After living in Asia forever, this is quite dreamlike scene. With candid kids photography it’s so much about reflexes and action. With this type of shot it’s about staring through the lens for a while to find a pleasing composition.
