Natural landscapes: new day’s light
SUNRISE AT CHESTERMAN BEACH, TOFINO, BRITISH COLUMBIA
This tiny town, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is home to surfers, eco-tour companies and glorious beaches like this. Using a graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky is key to making this photo work; it increases drama and forces your eyes down into the rest of the amazing scene. Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter.

What a stunning scenery! You have convinced me should go to Tofino this summer. Great capture Frank.
Thanks! It’s not the easiest place to get to, but once you’re there, WOW. 🙂
That is what everyone says! 🙂
Can’t wait to go there, we will be there the end of Sept. Great Photo, love the ocean. Jim
I expect to see many fine photos from your trip, Jim. 🙂
We are going first up the sunshine coast, over to Campbell river, then Tofino, back to Whistler and then home. Any suggestions that local would recommend for paddling kayaks and taking photos? Thanks, Jim
I don’t know about kayaking, Jim, but I do know that kayaking companies operate out of Tofino. And virtually any beach in Tofino and nearby Pacific Rim National Park is awesome for photography. 🙂
Thanks, we will try them out. JIm
Wish I was there! No greater compliment….
Thanks, Victor. Much appreciated. 🙂
Beautiful thank you. This sure helps quarantine life. Stay safe
