Photo Shoot

Pat from Jackson-Triggs.

Leica 50mm Summicron f/2, Photo Shoot, Portrait

Pat is an amazing tour guide from the Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate winery, situated in Southern Ontario’s world-renown Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region.

The Jackson-Triggs winery is a state-of-the-art facility that is both functional and beautiful and when you take a tour there, you will be greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff.  Every facet of the wine-making process will be explained, beginning outside in the vineyard, moving inside to the production facility, and ending with a (yummy) wine tasting at the Grand Reserve Tasting Bar.

If you want to experience a wonderfully humerous and educational guided tour of the winery, do yourself a favour and seek out Pat next time you find yourself at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Act 1: Scared.

Act 2: Trusting.

Act 3: Relieved.

And, just for fun, I’m including an additional shot below.  It was taken almost exactly one year ago (Nikon D3S and Nikkor-NOCT 58mm @ f/1.2):

Toronto Beach – A Misty Morning.

This is a spiritual place for me.

I’ve photographed this spot many times and each time I get something different — a different mood painted with a different palette.

Always beautiful though.

Here are some sample shots taken on a recent foggy Saturday morning.
