Terry Fox Lookout + Trow Bridge
As soon as I saw the fog yesterday morning I knew I had to go somewhere cool to capture some photos. I saw that the fog got heavier as you went further east, so I decided to head on over to the Terry Fox Lookout, seeing as how I hadn't really been there for a while. I already had my Fuji X-T1 and 16-55mm lens. So, off I went in search of some great photos.

Coming up the main road leading to the lookout I could already tell that the fog was going to make for some good shots. Even though it was already starting to dissipate, I knew still had some time. After grabbing a few quick shots of the road leading up I made my way to the lookout itself. I worked fairly quickly and just looked for different angles of the monument. I always try and capture perspectives that no one else has done, it's almost a way of challenging myself to not just settle. Of course, I know for a fact I walked away with some standard photos but I still tried to incorporate my own personal style.
Once I was done walking around the lookout, I drove back down to the base of the hill and parked the car. Normally I would have just left but I felt a bit courageous and so I got out of the car and climbed the hilltop to where the low mountain range was. There were a few Inukshuks up on the ledge so I incorporated them into some of my landscape photos.
It was then off to Trow Bridge. I figured there might still be some fog left there but sadly I was wrong. I didn't want to waste the trip though so I still managed to capture a few good shots down by the water and bridge. I also got a couple keepers from the playground as well. All in all, I was out and about for an hour or so. It was so much fun and very calming. Thanks for viewing!
Thunder Bay Marina
When I woke up a few days ago and noticed that it was really foggy I wanted to go take photos right away but it just wasn't possible. Instead, I ended up getting out about an hour later and I decided to head down to the Thunder Bay Marina. The sun was just a bit up in the sky and the ground had a fresh coat of frost and there was actually quite a bit of ice on most of the trails. On the way to the Marina I saw a few people on the side of the road due to black ice. So I began my walk around the Marina watching my step along the way.

Some days when I'm taking photos I feel more inspired and see things I might not normally see. Perhaps this is just in my head, and I'm not sure if other photographer's feel this way, but I don't think I am imagining it. Perhaps it was the brisk morning weather but it was a very fun photo walk. I spent about an hour around the Marina, taking my time, looking for different perspectives and just generally picking out things and moments that caught my eye.
All in all, this was one of my favourite sessions in a while. In my mind, I came away with a wide variety of photos. I always tend to focus on close up details but this time around I got a lot of great landscape shots as well. My camera of choice this morning was the Fuji X-T1 and the 35mm.
