I have been waiting for spring to make an appearance but it seems like it’s taking it’s time. Judging by the barren and in some places snow covered landscape, it might take another week or two. The narrow colour palette during this transitionary period is something I very much enjoy.
It was -21°C this past Sunday morning and I happened to catch the last bit of sunrise.
Autumn is my favourite time of the year in the northern hemisphere and is a joy to photograph, I’m always sad to see it go. There was not a lot of time to spend outside this season but there is always next year.
I have a love and hate relationship with this place. On one hand it’s super tacky and over photographed, but on the other hand so much water flowing in one spot is totally fascinating. I love how on some days the falls look like they are pouring out of the sky and forming new clouds below. The turbulent river downstream is also fascinating, and the colours in the fall against the green of the water are always a joy to look at.
The exercise is simple. look out the window, see nice clouds, get into the car and drive around suburban roads until you find some random barn or an area where tall trees are not in the way (a problem in many areas of Ontario). Hopefully if I keep it up I will have quite a collection of random barns or open sky. Not a radically new concept but fun to do nevertheless.
This raining rainbow cloud was interesting to. I hope all is well where the care bears live.
Also, Google Chrome seems to lack colour management (most installs out there do anyway). I’m not sure why this is, but it makes the browser useless for viewing anything but sRGB files. They also tend to over saturate on wide gamut displays. Because some images in the posts on this blog are tagged with color profiles in order to prevent clipping colours, here is a solution that is supposed to work. Please note that I have not tried this myself.
