Well, I'm back and it looks like my scheduled postings worked; that's a neat feature. Here is the first of probably quite a few postings from my recent trip around the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. This picture was taken of the Baddeck Lighthouse in Baddeck, NS, on the very first morning before getting to the Cabot Trail. The fog was still in the air and I stopped by the side of the road to photograph the lighthouse (of course). As I took the pictures, I was delighted to see a boat suddenly, and quietly, break the mirror-still water even though I was already enamored with the peaceful scene.
It wasn't until later that day, though, that I realized that my ISO setting was way too high (from a previous photoshoot involving dark cats in a dark room) so some of the pictures on this day end up a little grainy. Luckily the camera dropped the shutter speed to compensate... although I suppose if it hadn't I would have noticed the issue much sooner. I guess resetting the camera to its default settings before each new session is what I'll learn from this experience, although I personally like the image with a little grain in it.
