Here’s a few shots taken over the weekend with my Canon 50mm lens. Being mid winter in Atlantic Canada, the opportunity for getting outdoors to shoot some portraits are limited, so it was a case of making do with bath time. I’m really looking forward to using this lens during the upcoming wedding season. It’s a fantastic lens which copes in poor lighting situations, which makes it a must have in the camera bag.

It’s only a minute walk from our house and is a great place to swim in the warmer months. In winter it can get good for skating, like it was today, and you’ll find kids playing hockey wherever the ice is smooth enough. To capture the motion of the fast moving clouds, I used an ND filter on my camera which enabled a 30 second exposure.

Having a young family is time consuming, there’s no way around it, but it’s also the most amazing gift in the world. It just means getting out there and doing the things you want in any time slots available. This afternoon was one of those moments. It was an amazing day for late January in Atlantic Canada, unseasonably warm and sunny. I had my one hour time slot, and restricted to the general area of the Halifax Dockyards. So it was a case of parking up, choosing one lens (10-20mm Sigma) and getting snapping and the following are the results. It was quite refreshing to have the decision process restricted to one location, one lens and one hour….

There was some excitement leading up to the weekend due to some pretty decent looking surf reports. The strong winds brought with it a healthy amount of ground swell which got a lot of the local spots working. I managed to find enough time to get my fix in the sea for a surf and behind the lens snapping some shots, which has become a rare event. Here’s a few of the action shots and beach scene shots from yesterday. The persistent snow flurries and overcast conditions made things a little tricky for shooting, but mid January in Canada it could have been a lot worse. If you were out there and want to see if I got a shot of you and it’s not on here, email me at acornphotographs@gmail.com

Acorn is available for surf session photo shoots. Email me to arrange a date when the conditions look right and we’ll get some shots!

The sun doesn’t hang around for long at this time of year, so you have to catch it when you can.
