I went camping with fellow photographer, Chad Bykerk, to Greenvalley Lake this past week for one and a half days. Chad's family has a cabin up in the woods and I have been asking him for about a year to take me up there with him. I finally got my wish and boy was it cold!
As soon as we got there, we walked about the town shoppes and started shooting. The temperature was 20 degrees I believe and dropping as the day went by. I covered myself with sweaters and jackets as much as I could but still, the cold got to me.
We went out to shoot 3 times that day. Combined, Chad and I have 8 lenses in between us. I used most of them to shoot my photos. The challenges I faced were many. COLD COLD COLD!! I could not feel my fingers most of the time much less would I be able to take photos. My feet were frozen and my lips chapped, nonetheless, I did what I had to to get great shots.
I took a little over 200 hundred photos and only picked 12. They range from landscapes to the sunset giving an orange glow while touching down on a frozen tree. While we were shooting the sunset, Chad said, "This is what a live for." Then and there I realized taking photographs is my life's passion and I don't ever want to stop. I take photographs for my personal satisfaction but feel elation knowing that I can share these with the people who enjoy viewing my work.
Thanks a lot for supporting my photography.
See ya later
Jake
