With the sweltering heat in Ontario this summer, I've been out on my boat every chance I can get! My friend and I recently made an early morning trip out to Flowerpot Island in Fathom Five National Marine Park near Tobermory, Ontario. We were rewarded with the best sunrise I've ever had from the island. The clouds lit up dramatically at daybreak and we shot pictures like crazy!
I was very pleased with the first image below, but knew that having a person in the shot would provide scale for the large "flowerpot" rock pillar. My buddy Don Wilkes obliged by running up onto the adjacent rock ledge and striking the pose you see in photo 2.
Later in the morning when the sun was much higher in the sky, we searched for interesting foregrounds for the flowerpots. I composed photo 3 with a tourism guide cover in mind. It was a fun shoot and I'm already planning my photo excursion over to the island!

ReplyDeleteEthan just found your blog through Ian Plant's post. Just incredible images. I'm in Ontario as well and always on the lookout for fantastic photographers from my home turf.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot; all of them. I especially like number 2 with the human figure, it gives it a sense of scale and drama.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots Ethan!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a really nice paddle, Ethan.
