SAUGEEN SUNSETS, BEACHES, STARS<br />
The boardwalk in Southampton is a wonderful place for a<br />
peaceful stroll. The sunsets here are some of the best in the world<br />
and the sandy beach, which stretches about four kilometres, is<br />
marked by dunes and dune grass — a great place to bring the<br />
family and enjoy Lake Huron at its best.<br />
Sunsets in Southampton are spectacular to watch — paradise for<br />
professional and amateur photographers.<br />
As the composer Claude Debussy said, “There is nothing more<br />
musical than a sunset.”<br />
SOUTHAMPTON LIGHTHOUSES<br />
Saugeen River Front Range Lighthouse is a great place to<br />
capture star trails — a kind of photograph that appears to<br />
capture the movement of stars through the frame as long,<br />
continuous lines. This lighthouse is situated at the western end<br />
of the pier. I often sit on the edge of those rocks with my camera<br />
and photograph different species of birds, including egrets, blue<br />
herons, bald eagles and more.<br />
STAR TRAILS IN WINTER<br />
Winter is always a great time to photograph star trails. I<br />
remember being in the kitchen at my house and deciding to<br />
look outside to see if there were any stars that night. There were<br />

so many, I decided to walk to one of the lighthouses and set up<br />
my camera. I was very fortunate that night and I did manage to<br />
capture a beautiful shot of star trails.<br />
GREY AND BRUCE WATERFALLS<br />
For a while, it seemed as if everyone I met in Southampton<br />
said something along the lines of: “You must photograph the<br />
beauty of the waterfalls in the area.” So I started mapping what I<br />
thought were the six best waterfalls in the area and ventured out<br />
to explore them.<br />
We started with Sauble Falls. I was amazed how these falls and<br />
rapids flow under the main highway. When we arrived at the<br />
falls it was raining, but the photographs were worth the risk<br />
of getting a bit damp. We saw a great blue heron bathing and<br />
having a great time looking around. It was a picture-perfect<br />
moment.<br />
After I visited the falls I decided to explore Sauble Beach, the<br />
second-longest freshwater beach in Canada. Again, I was lucky.<br />
There was no one on the beach when I arrived, so I decided to<br />
take my drone and get an aerial shot.<br />
I heard lots of talk about Indian Falls from photographers I met<br />
over the years. They told me it’s challenging to get there, but<br />
worth the hike. The waterfall is 15 metres high, and situated in<br />
a conservation area near Owen Sound. This trail was definitely<br />
challenging due to the weather, but it was worth the effort.<br />
