I spent last evening photographing in Heritage Park, which is located between downtown Barrie and Kempenfelt Bay. I really like shooting in the evening. The sun is low causing shadows which make the image look more three dimensional. In addition the light is softer and warmer in colour.
I used a neutral density filter to blur the water and sky, which helps to soften these elements while the stationary objects remain sharp.
This photo of the tree along the shoreline was shot while looking east away from the sunset.
The final photo of Meridian Place and the downtown was taken during the “blue hour”, which occurs towards the end of twilight.
