Portland

I just got back from my first trip to Oregon. Most of the trip was spent hiking and photographing within the amazing Columbia River Gorge but I also had a chance to spend a little bit of time within Portland as well. I haven’t seen that much of it, but I can tell that Oregon [...]

Canada Goose Family

It was very windy out on this evening when the Canada Geese tried to retire for the evening. I’m sure some of the women out there that read my blog (like my mom) can relate to this Canada Goose family photo. This was the most unique thing that I witnessed during this trip and it [...]

Two Jack Lake

Two Jack Lake is a location that I’d like to photograph some more on my next visit. I saw a lot of potential here that I wasn’t quite able to figure out. I think if the water were calm that it would have been amazing. See more of my Banff National Park photos. Tweet

Vermillion Lakes

I spent 2.5 hours standing in this tight little space along the muddy Vermillion Lakes shoreline sandwiched between thick vegetation, in complete awe of the scene unfolding before me. Literally every second that passed by yielded a completely different composition. There are some scenes that require photographic vision to capture effectively and then there are [...]

Lake Minnewanka

Photographing in the Canadian Rockies requires a lot more persistence than my pictures might look. What this Lake Minnewanka photo doesn’t show is the all day of thick clouds and rain that preceded a partial clearing during “magic hour”. It can be easy to retire to a warm bed where it is dry after dinner [...]

Beauty in Death

I find a certain beauty to burned forests. As a society, we’re conditioned to think all fire is bad when in reality it’s a vital part of nature’s recycling process. When fire is caused by natural means then it can be beneficial, and as nature proves repeatedly, that life regenerates in burned areas. As a [...]

Marble Canyon

When photographing a scene even if there is a featured attraction, I always like to look around to see if there are any other aspects to the landscape that I can photograph. In this instance I looked behind away from Marble Canyon and Vermillion Peak in the background canyon my eye while contrasted with the [...]

Waterfall Abstract

On my first visit to Bow Falls, I saw some interesting opportunities for long exposure photos but it was mid-morning during this visit so I came back on another day to try it after the sun had already gone down. See more of my Banff National Park photos. Tweet

Bow River Valley

This nice little vantage point above the Bow River provided me with a view of the valley. I was hoping to get an S-curve with the river but the trees were blocking my view. Luckily on this photo, the sun broke through providing a visual point of interest with some illumination on the trees while [...]

Moose at Kootenay National Park

Moose and black bear are two big game animals that have proven to be elusive for my camera throughout the years despite several sightings. I got a few poor-quality snapshots of moose at Yellowstone National Park when I was still in college but wasn’t able to photograph one for real until recently at Kootenay National [...]
