The people behind the pictures: Meet the prolific shutterbugs snapping CTV Skywatch weather photos
CTV
Some of the most prolific photographers behind CTV Skywatch Pics of the Day use the medium for fun, therapy, and connection.
Every day that CTV Weather Specialists Colleen Bready and Terri Apostle clock in for work, before they step in front of the green screen to deliver the day’s forecast, they check the weather inbox.
The climate prognosticators scan dozens of emails from loyal CTV viewers, chalk full of incredible photos of radiant sunsets, fields of golden canola, or, depending on the time of year, towering and treacherous snowbanks.
“Some of these people, they're amateurs, but they could easily be professional photographers,” Apostle said.
“Sometimes they’re telling us about the different cameras that they use and the different lenses that they're using and the techniques that they're doing.”
They carefully choose a few shots to show on air as the Skywatch Pictures of the Day alongside the day’s forecast.
