Greyish November

Written by on November 16, 2009 – 10:35 am16 Comments | 2 Read this

Let’s face it, Novem­ber isn’t the best sea­son. It’s damp, cold and there is barely any light. The sun­set is cur­rently around 4:30 pm and each day when I fin­ish work at 5:00 and step out of the build­ing, I blink twice, expect­ing day­light instead of total darkness.

On Sat­ur­day, Gail headed to Ottawa and we meet down­town, two addicts with cam­eras in need of some­thing to shoot. Between rain show­ers, we cov­ered the Chateau Lau­rier, Notre-Dame Church and many places in between down­town. With the grey­ish weather, it was almost like shoot­ing in black and white but I’m quite happy with the results.

We even­tu­ally ended up at Star­bucks a few hours later to warm up. We put both our cam­era on the table and Gail’s two lenses. Cus­tomers around prob­a­bly thought we were some kind of paparazzi, but never mind.
