After attending a couple of photo workshops in the amazing Charlevoix region, I now know when and where to go for the loveliest photo opportunities. Such workshops are very good to improve skills and to discover the best places with efficient use of time. One winter morning I planned to arrive at the St-Laurence River shoreline near Bay-St-Paul to catch the sunrise. The river has tides that can reach seven meters, and the movement creates beautiful ice blocks. Walking on the shoreline, I found one of these, a true masterpiece. I installed my tripod on the icy shoreline to frame the image. The background colors, the reflections on the water and the piece of art in the foreground all formed an amazing composition. I will have to return now that I know all the best spots!
