Late in the day, I like shooting into water that is backlighted by a setting sun. Deliberately underexposing the image, I blanket this busy harbor scene with watery texture, full of ripples, waves, and spray. The backlighting abstracts the water and creates silhouettes of the boats in the foreground, as well as of the seaplanes that wait to take off in the background. The harbor becomes a monochromatic abstraction, with only the red in the Canadian flag to remind us of reality.
