“The Ultimate Backlight”

I am not a morning guy; I can sleep-in with the best of them.

But I do love the rare occassions when I have to be up extremely early. You get to see the world in a whole new light – literally.

This was the case with the photoshoot I was on yesterday morning. Call time at the Scarborough Bluffs was 5:30am.

It was dark, cold and – except for the two guys who had clearly been out clubbing and had talked their high-heels and mini-dress clad ‘dates’ into the romance of driving out to watch the sunrise – quiet.

Then the arc of that orange-pink sphere begins to peek above the horizon and the flat grey light begins to separate into highlight and shadows.
