Hi everybody. I have spent the last 4 mornings photographing spring- fresh green colour in the aspens particularly. The first image in this post was made yesterday under largely overcast conditions. But the sun peeked through briefly and I saw the potential for backlighting and green reflections. Sadly it did not last long. Further complicating matters was a rather annoying wind riffling the water. Second photo. I decided to return this morning when conditions were more favourable. Sunny and calm. Only about 25 (scenic) km to return to this locale butI was rewarded. I think it is important to visualize the image and make plans to phoyograph the best conditions, even if one needs to return to the locale.

I'm pleased to be able to share an article about our trip to Antarctica. Written by Vicki Gilhula after she interviewed me, it appears in one of our media outlets- Sudbury.com- here in Greater Sudbury.

Sunrise comes very early in the Southern hemisphere springtime. Roughly 3:30 a.m. But on a few occasions I was rewarded with beautiful light in both South Georgia and Antarctica.
