Perseid Meteor Shower
I didn’t get any really great shots of meteors, but I did get some nice shots of the milky way.

Spotted Lake Wildfire
It seems that every time I go to Oliver to photograph wineries, a natural disaster happens. The last time I was there there was a mudslides that damaged or destroyed about a dozen buildings. Today, a wildfire at Spotted Lake just outside Osoyoos, BC. This image was picked up by the Canadian Press and made…

Using filters
One of the first questions people ask themselves when they start getting serious about photography is if they need filters or not. The simple answer is ‘no’. The complex answer is ‘yes, if you want to take your pictures to the next level.’ The next question is usually ‘alright, which ones are right for me?’…

Star trails, BFN edition
Jason and I started off our evening playing with strobes and looking for things to light up in the darkness. We ended up in Peachland looking for trees to light. While we were in our planning phases, Jason looked up and noticed the lack of clouds. I knew this month’s new moon is less than…

Because of this, I went through my flickr favorites to see what others were doing, looking for inspiration. I found some. A flickrite from Georgia, named Lauren,…

Midnight sun
I shot this last night whilst out on another escapade with Jason. We went up to the Black Mountain area, or maybe it was just east of East Rutland. Either way, I quite liked the shot. I chose to leave the colour of the sodium light in, rather than black and white it because I…

Surreal
Went out shooting with Jason again last night. We went up to the Joe Rich area, off Hwy 33. This ended up being my shot of the day, despite the fact that I thought there were some that were much more compelling while looking at them on the camera LCD. The intense blues and greens…

Close encounters
I went shooting last night with a group consisting of six other people: Jason, Carol, Darren, Lori, Ron and Lyle. It was fun. I think that some had more fun than others. I affectionately refer to Jason, Darren and myself as “The Tripod Brigade”. I knew that we’d have fun no matter where we ended…
