Photography | Nature & Landscape | Fall Colours, Hardy Lake P.P.

The fall colours images captured at Hardy Lake Provincial Park, Torrance, Muskoka in Ontario, October 2025, demonstrate different uses of light and composition to create various effects in outdoor photography. Backlighting, shadows and composition techniques such as changing angles, and creating negative space were utilized to accentuate the beauty of fall in Muskoka.
