A trip to Cowichan Bay is never complete without Udder Guys Ice Cream - So we stopped at the ice cream parlour. We also went down to the docks for the sunset where I got some gorgeous photos! The lighting was perfect. It was the tail end of the golden hour and everything was alive with a warm wash of colour. That doesn't mean that you can't use black and white effects however!

| I took this one from the end of a dock, down at water level. Mt Prevost - a well recognized mountain in the area - is in the background. The simplicity of the sailing boats and their elongated vertical lines contrasted nicely, I felt, with the horizontal horizon lines. |

| When I saw this set up I stopped altogether to think about how I was going to frame it. I had to work carefully to keep the boat out of the shot - I wanted a clear background. I felt black and white kept with the calm nature of the place. It was very serene down on the docks. |
