This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Favourite Images of 2020 prompt.
Once I started selecting some favourites I realised that they were far to random to build a theme around. So I decided to go with a small selection of photos of various skies, one from each season.
Early January saw me down on a snow and ice covered section of the Colpoy’s Bay shoreline for my first dawn photos of 2020.
Late March saw Ontario in lockdown and I was restricted to walks around the neighborhood. Paper Birch trees against a blue sky made bluer by the lack of aircraft flying at the time.
July saw some of the lockdown restrictions eased and Comet Neowise in the sky. As a result I headed down to Colpoy’s Bay to photograph star trails while missing the comet on every attempt.
November saw me down on the Government Dock in the village of Colpoy’s Bay on the South Bruce Peninsula for the sunrise. The light and clouds were so widespread I used my fisheye lens to include as much of the sky as possible.

These are perfect! I love the one especially on the stars shooting about. This was a hard shot to make an image and you did it very well. Kudos!
Thanks. The star trails were something to do while looking for Comet Neowise.
Pity you did not capture Comet Neowise, did you later on?
I didn’t even manage to see it. I either picked the wrong location or it was too cloudy on my various attempts.
Never mind…next time you will capture it!đđ
All gorgeous!
Thank you. Going with a theme seemed to work once I decided on one per season.
You’ve been watching the sky through the year. Good photos
Best wishes for the new year.
Thank you. It seemed to be a year for watching the sky. First with the lockdown and travel restrictions and then with Comet Neowise.
Best wishes for the New Year to you also.
Wow, David! Love your choices, and maybe most of all the last one in fisheye – gorgeous.
Thanks Ann-Christine. It all seemed to come together once I decided to go with skies and one from each season.
I’m with Ann-Christine David, the closing image is wonderful. Excellent idea going with a theme – it helps to focus when one has so many terrific images!
Thanks Tina. My initial selection was so random I didn’t know where to start writing a post until I decided to go with a theme and one photo per season.
Excellent. That sunrise is spectacular.
Thanks, that was one I knew had to be included in the selection.
