After postponing our workshop twice due to the leaves still being too green in Algonquin Park, we departed for the park yesterday morning in the dark and the rain. (This despite a much more favourable forecast from our weather wizards)
Our students were enthusiastic & undaunted despite the start. We were hoping to catch sunrise on one of the many potential sites near the corridor. Unfortunately a grey dawn emerged but it still allowed for our instruction to proceed and to capture lovely muted images of a calm lake and a forest canopy in the distance showing definite signs of fall. On one of our stops we spotted a young black bear, the highligh of the day as far as animal sightings.
As the morning wore on we visited several spots with the light going from interesting to plain dull.
Late in the morning we decided to take a break for an early lunch at the visitors centre, hoping for an improvement in the weather. After lunch we decided to proceed on our hike to a "secret location" and within minutes of our start the sky began to clear! .By the time we got to our destination blue skies and beautiful puffy white clouds awaited us. Needless to say, the cameras were clicking happily.
We had a great day of shooting and returned to our meeting location tired but in good spirits having enjoyed a variety filled day with lots of opportunities to learn and have a laugh or two as well.
