My White Whale
7

This past week I was in Niagara-on-the-Lake a city that has a special place in my heart. In April of 2012 I took a photo of Fort Mississauga which is an unmaintained National Heritage Site that was built to act as a counter point to Fort Niagara on the American Side of the Niagara River.
The site is fairly unremarkable, but the photo I took there was the first photo I cropped to a 1:2 format. A Crop I use a lot today. It was also the first photo I took where I said.. "hey that doesn't suck"

Since then I've tried to take other photos there. I've never been super happy with them. I'm still chasing that perfect photo, which is ok. The chase is fun.

I thought I'd share that photo from 2012 paired with my photo 4 years later. I get a kick out of how my eye has changed, my processing, and just my styling. The first photo was shot in April of 2012 with my NX11 which was just about a year in my possession using the 18-55 kit lens. The Second in March of 2016 is the NX1 using the Rokinon 12mm.

One day I will get my white whale.
