Since yesterday's pic from Petty Harbour was such a hit I figured I'd do some more over the next few days... 'Pretty In Petty' --- Just sitting by the harbour and witnessing the peaceful sunset in Petty Harbour.

In case you missed it...

'St. Shott's Sunset' --- Taken Dec 28th, it's hard to believe the weather we had over the holiday break. Not often you see a sunset unencumbered by fog in St. Shott's. Watching the sun dive below the horizon was a glorious sight to witness and was one of the nicest sunsets I saw in 2020. ---

Well, after what seems like an eternity 2020 has reached its end. It goes without saying that it was a tumultuous year for most but it wasn't all bad. In terms of photography this was the year where I decided it would no longer be just a hobby. I'm proud of what I've accomplished and, more importantly, learned in 2020. Here's a slideshow I put together highlighting my favourites from this year. Here's to 2021. May it bring good health and happiness to all. Cheers!

Excited to have some of my photos featured in CBC's favourites from 2020... https://www.cbc.ca//new/nl-favourite-photos-2020-1.5830972

'Safe Harbour' --- I decided to go back and re-edit this image from a few months ago because I felt it had so much more potential. I'm really glad I did. It's now cleaner and less busy with a lot of distractions removed and some added softness versus the heavy clarity I previously applied.

'Winter Wonderland Pt 2' --- Here's another recent shot of a stream near my house. The thin frost and crystallised ice really add to the ethereal feel. ---

'Winter Wonderland' --- I recently set out to see what I could find near my house for a nice little wintery shot. I found this idyllic little stream tucked quietly away with lots of nice rock formations and leading lines. This particular section was long and flat which made for some serious depth and seemed to flow right into the camera. Enjoy! ---

'South Brook Pool' --- So after at least six visits to this location I finally came away with a shot I'm happy with. It had rained the previous night so there's was lots of water. ---

'Cape Bonavista' - #StayHomeYear2020

'Crash' --- #StayHomeYear2020

'Bridge to Nowhere' --- Saturday I stopped by Bidgood's Park and this setting was just begging to be photographed. Although it wasn't sunrise or sunset the sunlight was softened by some light clouds and made for this ethereal glow.

'Dreamy' . #StayHomeYear2020

'Tones of November' . #StayHomeYear2020

'the Farm' --- Saturday morning definitely signified the transition from Fall to Winter. An ever so slight dusting of snow touched the ground and ice crystals appeared on top of the puddles. But Fall wouldn't go away quietly. Everything was lit with lovely golden, dappled light. Truly one of the most gorgeous mornings yet! ---

Carbonear, NL #StayHomeYear2020

'Black Rock' --- This past summer we spent some time on the Bonavista Peninsula and this shot was taken during sunset in the beautiful community of Melrose. As the sun was setting in the opposite direction I looked behind me and it was perfectly hitting these rocks and making them glow.

'Powle's Head' --- #StayHomeYear2020

'Wave Over Wave' --- The textures and colours in these rocks caught my eye and I knew I just HAD to get a shot. As the waves relentlessly washed over them and a little bit of sunshine squeezed through the fog the colour and detail popped.

A repost from this past summer. This was taken on a gorgeous day in Keels.

'Swift Current' #StayHomeYear2020

'Magical Mist' --- Light rain, a bit of fog, mist from the waterfall and the sun doing its best to poke through. I always find the best time to shoot is when the conditions aren't ideal. Let the weather work its magic and play with the light.

'Storm In the Harbour' #StayHomeYear2020

'Unwavering' --- So myself and @abihlophotography were chatting about where to shoot next and we decided to take in the falls in Flatrock. Neither of us had shot it before. What's interesting is that, while we went at different times, we ended up with a lot of similar compositions. It goes to show that sometimes the subject dictates the shot. --- #newfoundland #newfoundlandlabrador #newfoundlandandlabrador #nfld #explorenl #explorenewfoundland #landscapephotography #landscapephotos #enjoynewfoundland #exploreeast #explorecanada #canada #naturelovers #eastcoast #travelnewfoundland #nlphoto #nlphotographer #nlphotography #newfoundlandphoto #newfoundlandphotography #newfoundlandphotographer #newfoundlandphoto #epic_landscape #amazingphotohunter #canada_photolovers #thepropanel #StayHomeYear2020

'Calm'. #StayHomeYear2020

'Tucked Away' --- #StayHomeYear2020

'Windswept Western Shore' The coasts of Newfoundland are no stranger to strong winds and even stronger seas. Last weekend as the sun set in Trepassey wind gusts upwards of 100km/h pushed the sea mist up over the hills of the western shore. The sun backlit the mist creating this awesome glow. . #StayHomeYear2020

'Perfectly Peaceful' . #StayHomeYear2020

'Sundown Over Hopeall' . Repost. Taken this past summer. This was one of the nicest evenings of the summer. . #StayHomeYear2020

The weekend is right around the corner. C'mon with it!

'Brighter Days Ahead' . #StayHomeYear2020

'Handful of Jelly Beans'

'Glorious' . In case you couldn't tell from my previous shots I LOVE waterfalls. Like a burning fire I could watch them endlessly. The constant motion. The sound of the rushing water. The mist that rises from its cascade. Natural perfection. . #StayHomeYear2020

'Stark' . What is it about Quidi Vidi that is so magical? The colours? The textures? The sheer ethereal atmosphere? Newfoundland has many amazing settings but none exemplifies our province better than this quaint little village tucked under the arm of the city. It is truly a photographer's paradise. . #StayHomeYear2020

'South Brook Falls Pt. 2' . A few days ago I posted a shot looking down these falls. Here's the opposite angle looking back up. I love this location and I've made at least five visits there over the last couple of weeks. Just gorgeous. . #StayHomeYear2020

Couldn't help myself. Seeing lots of amazing shots from Quidi Vidi lately and I had to go check it out...again...for the 1000th time. Yet it never gets old. . #quidividi #StayHomeYear2020 #newfoundland #newfoundlandlabrador #newfoundlandandlabrador #nfld #explorenl #explorenewfoundland #enjoynewfoundland #exploreeast #explorecanada #canada #cangeo #naturelovers #eastcoast #travelnewfoundland #edgeoftheworld #nlphoto #nlphotographer #nlphotography #newfoundlandphoto #newfoundlandphotography #newfoundlandphotographer #newfoundlandphoto #sjcamera35 #amazingphotohunter #staycation #canada_photolovers #2020nd #Nikon

2000 LIKES! Holy smokes! To say I'm humbled is an understatement. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

'Fall On Signal Hill' #StayHomeYear2020

'Petty Harbour, NL' Taken June 15th, 2020. This is a special picture for me as it was the first landscape shot I had done in quite some time. To me, it marks the beginning of this journey. Becoming a full-time photographer is something I should have done years ago. I hope it's only just begun...

'Moss In the Mist'

'South Brook Falls' #StayHomeYear2020

'Cozy' . #StayHomeYear2020

'Powerful Brew' . Yesterday the sea was a force. Waves pummelled the shoreline. I took a spin out to Cape Spear and as I made my way back I saw this waterfall across the way in Freshwater Bay. While it looks like it's crashing on the rocks below the mist is actually from the wind sweeping the spray from the waves. In the foreground is the point just outside Blackhead. It may look close but in actual fact the waterfall was well over a mile away. . #StayHomeYear2020

'Layers' --- I find I'm ALWAYS looking for layers in my compositions. Layers of colour, saturation, light, texture and even layers of terrain seem to catch me eye. How about you? Do you see the layers #StayHomeYear2020

'Trickling By' There's something so calming, yet inspiring about a little brook. It just does its thing...smooth, steady and uninterrupted by the distractions around it. #StayHomeYear2020

I can indeed confirm that it was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood! #StayHomeYear2020

'Aunt Jessie's' Built it 1894 in Hibb's Hole on the Port De Grave Peninsula. #StayHomeYear2020

'Magnificence' One great way to get some awesome shots of the fall colours is to change your perspective. Get down low beneath the branches and close to the fallen leaves or climb up a hill, as I did here, that offers vistas of the treetops. *Taken somewhere off Foxtrap Access Road... #StayHomeYear2020

I'm always trying to expand my photography and not get stuck pumping out the same things over and over. On this one I went for an edit a lot different from what I normally produce. I was going for an 'instagramy-type' look so I applied some colour grading and I think it really gives the image some character. What do you think? Port de Grave, NL Canada #StayHomeYear2020
