The Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick is one of my favourite areas to visit in Canada and is a goldmine of subject matter for a landscape and nature photographer. Here's a travel photography feature that I wrote recently for the Improve Photography website.

It would be fair to say that the Bay of Fundy area in New Brunswick is the place where I received my first nibbles from the photography bug, although it would be many years before I fully succumbed. Hard as it is to believe nowadays when every kid carries a cell phone with a camera, back in the olden days (like, the 1990's), I didn't own my first camera until I was 20. It was a Kodak 110, which had these funny little cartridges of film that you dropped in and the camera did the rest. There were no settings and you had to remember to manually wind the film between shots. I was on my first “real” vacation, a trip away during my time off from a full-time job. My family never travelled when I was young. “Children with cottages don't go to Disneyland” (or camp, or anywhere else but the cottage, so I was told). Although I had already travelled some parts of the country for work, I had never before travelled for pleasure and relaxation. The trip was a very spur of the moment affair, with no real plans except “go as far east as possible and still be back at work in a week”.
