Early to rise, helps make nice photographs
Since I’ve been told that sunrise and sunsets are amongst the best times (due to ideal lighting conditions) to flex one’s photography muscles, I decided to give it a try one morning. See bottom of post for some references on light conditions during sunrise and sunset.
As the sun grew brighter, it allowed for varying amounts of natural light to experiment with. I was able to capture a wide variety of images, taking photographs facing towards the sunlight as well as in perpendicular and opposite directions to the light source.
During this time we (my kids came along) intruded, albeit with great care, on some quintessentially Canadian ‘early birds’. Here’s one of them on its daily (I’m assuming) walks around the neighborhood. He did seem to take his regimen seriously.
Taking the family along to catch the sunrise was an added bonus…our collective memories captured on digital canvas.

Lines o’ Old Montreal
A group of men and women decided to settle on a tip of land on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. That was in 1642 and the start of the area’s urbanization. Here are 2 and a half photographs from a short working visit to Old Montreal, the settlement that expanded and transformed to the bourgeois centre of the city in the 19th century, the heart of the metropolis in the early 20th century and is now the historic city centre.

The old holds its own as lines of the current era emerge.
