The first light catches the serrated silhouette of Cradle Mountain and the still skin of Dove Lake, and the workshop is already in motion. You stand on the lakeshore with a tripod, the boat shed framed to one side and the mountain pushing skyward beyond — the kind of quiet that sharpens the eye and forces composition choices.
