It’s taken me a while to start pictures around Saint John again. This area just does not compare in scope as much as Europe does obvious
Sailboats out on the water outside the RKYC in Millidgeville. I like this shot because there is a bit of symmetry, and the water and misty air make it look refreshing in a way.
A sunny afternoon in Rockwood Park. Shots like this are one of my favourites, as it includes colourful scenery, water, and clouds in a blue sky.
Zooming in on King Street.
Ugly structures at the site of old sugar refinery. This is the first thing that cruise ship passengers see when entering Saint John pretty much. These look new to me, and I’m not sure what they’re for, since I haven’t kept up on the status of this site. Anyone know what these are for?
The pathway near Fisher Lakes in Rockwood Park.
Another view of the pathway, similar to shots I have taken before. A little bit of haze is visible in the background, but it does not cloud the foreground view.
That’s all for now. It’s not as easy to get good shots around Saint John as it was in Europe, as I had the ability to take many shots at once of different places in Europe.
Don’t hesitate to leave a comment telling me what you think of my blog posts.

Paul! i love these photos! i am so impressed by your amazing photography skills!
I never saw Saint John looking so good. The last photo brought back memories of a photo course taken with Freeman Paterson in the ’70′s. We were always up and shooting by 5:30 or 6:00 AM and rising mist was a common sight. Your photo gave me a shiver.
I’ll be back to see more.

Your photos are good, but you could improve them by taking a few simple steps. Polarizers add much needed clarity to a picture by removing indirect light.
Pictures don’t always have to stay at the same size they came out of your camera at, try panorama’s, or cropping to make a picture wider.
Try to show strong lines in your pictures, or follow the 2/3′s rule by placing subjects along lines in the intersections of lines every 1/3 of your vertical and horizontal.
Just a few tips, don’t know if you wanted to practice them or not, but they would help
