Working With Dull Winter Scenes in Post
A number of days ago I decided to take a break from some client video work and a couple of eBook projects on which I’ve been working.

A few weeks ago I headed off to Wilkes Dam in Brantford Ontario with a friend. Our objective was to capture some images of Bald Eagles. Well…the eagle only showed up for a minute or two and was too far away to even attempt getting a photograph. Suffice to say we ended up with a change of plan visiting Wilkes Dam.
