One of the things that constantly fascinates me when I travel is how different the light is in the northern hemisphere from that in Australia. It's hard to explain. Light in the northern hemisphere is less harsh, more defused. Colours in the countryside are more saturated and deep.
The Canadian landscape challenges and frustrates me. So much beauty - how can I possible hope to capture it?
Unfortunately there are no easy answers. I mostly shoot in manual, so I've been experimenting with my camera settings - mostly shutter speed and ISO as I don't want to drop my aperture and get too shallow a depth of field.
Winter is Canada also brings with it the challenge of late sunrises and early sunsets. My camera settings at 8 am are completely different to those several hours later.
Okay so this probably sounds like pretty basic stuff; and it is. But it's also a bit like starting over again, because the rules seem to apply slightly differently here. So I shoot, chimp, bracket, shoot again. Rinse and repeat.
Which pretty much for me is a little slice of heaven... :)
