Blue In The Phase

The Sun Gets Its Come-Uppance

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


This shot was taken at Algonquin National Park in Muskoka, Canada. I had driven down, pre-dawn, from Huntsville, taking good care not to run the rental car into an errant moose. I stopped for some great shots at Oxtongue Lake and Tea Lake before pulling in at Smoke Creek. I shot about fifty frames here, using a Canon EOS 3000 and a Pentax Optio, but this picture would have been one of the ten best results from the morning. Interestingly enough, I always tell amateur photographers to look away from the ``obvious'' shot, because you never know what you'll capture. And a few moments after I shot this frame, I turned my lens ninety degrees to the right for a great result. If you want to see that shot, just go to Blue Riband.
