Kelby Photowalk 2016

Posted on 2016-10-01 by Ron MacKay

2016-10-01 For the past few years I’ve participated in the Kelby Photowalk that our club helps arrange in our area. This year it was on October 1st and in the area around Robinson’s Island, of the National Park.
A few days before the event I went out to scout the location and get some practice in. So about half of the images were taken on Sep-28, the remaining on the event date of Oct-01. Here is the album of Kelby Photowalk 2016.

Lighthouse Visits 2016

Posted on 2016-09-10 by Ron MacKay

2016-09-10 Each year I try to visit or re-visit some of PEI’s Iconic lighthouses. The one at Bear River was important since it was moved back and away from its previous location on a precarious cliff.
The Point Prim lighthouse also got some work with new paint and additional rock wall added. After visiting that lighthouse we enjoyed a “coffee on the rocks” at the nearby Chowder House Restaurant.
Here is the Flickr album for Lighthouse Visits 2016.

Northport Photo Workshop

Posted on 2016-08-05 by Ron MacKay

2016-08-05 This summer I took my second workshop with Pro Photographer John Sylvester.
This year it was held out of the Northport Pier Inn near Alberton, PEI. Always lots to do and learn, so one doesn’t really mind getting up before dawn for a sunrise shot, and then staying up until the sunset gives way to the Blue hour.
Here are a few of my shots taken during the inspiring 2 days.

2016-04-09 This year’s trip to St. Martin started out with our usual stopover in Toronto. However, this time we took advantage of the new Pearson Express train to get a fast and cheap ride into the city.
