This beautiful sunset at my beloved Anderson Hollow Lighthouse was one of the images featured in the CBC New Brunswick article.
A couple of weeks ago, I received a message from CBC New Brunswick on Instagram. They had featured some of my work in the past, now they wanted to know if I’d like to do an “IG takeover” where they’d share a few of my images throughout one day, along with some of my photography tips. Of course, I said “yes”, and sent off some images and captions. Well they loved my tips so much, next thing I knew, a reporter called and interviewed me for a full article on their website! What an honour! Here is the article:
Capturing nature: 5 tips from an award-winning photographer | CBC News
Tracy Munson may have discovered her passion for photography later in life, but she's always had a love of animals. Before she became a full-time photographer, Munson was a veterinary technician in Ontario for 25 years, so pet photography was an obvious transition for her.

Photo Contests: Opportunity or Exploitation
Not all photo contests are created equal and some are outright scams. Check out my article, published originally on Improve Photography for the lowdown on when to enter.
Photo Contests: Opportunity Or Exploitation?
Photographers today are faced with a barrage of choices as to how and when they will share their photos. To post a photo anywhere online is to risk it being stolen, but if you don't share then your work will never be seen.
TAKING PHOTOS IN HARSH SUNLIGHT
It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, there are a few puffy white clouds in the sky...what better time to go out and take some photos, right? Not so fast, those sunny days with clear blue skies look great to our eyes, but the camera doesn't see things the same way. Harsh, unflattering shadows ruin portraits and landscape scenes tend to have blown out, over exposed skies and completely black shadow areas with none of the details your eyes can easily discern. If you've ever come home, disappointed with your bright, sunshiny day photos, then check out this article I wrote for photoblog.com.
LOUSY WEATHER, GREAT PHOTOS
I've just returned from almost a month of fall camping in Quebec and let me tell you, there was plenty of rotten weather.

Some of my very favourite (and most popular, and lucrative) photos exist only because I got outside despite the miserable weather.
Here's an article I wrote about what to photograph when it rains on your vacation. Coincidentally (not really), I wrote it in a tent in Forillon National Park, Quebec, while the rain was beating down outside.
