Just a few shots of the sunset in a small coastal town called Yachats. Yachats is off the 100, just north of Cape Perpetua, and it’s where we stayed while we were shooting Thor’s Well. The colours in these shots are straight out of the camera. I am using my Lee Filter system with a…

I was going to bundle these pics in with the photos of Bandon Beach, but when I looked them over I realized they deserved their own post-the landscape is so very different. Bullards Beach is an area that we passed through while looking for Bandon Beach. It’s white and sandy and sunny and that’s where all…

Cape Kiwanda is a photographer’s heaven. Which made it twice as annoying that the first time we went there, it was covered in an impermeable, pea souper of a fog. Here’s an example of how bad the fog was; there is an iconic rock formation on this beach called the haystack. It’s no tin-of-biscuits either;…

On the second full day that we had in Oregon, Tito and I spent the day waterfall hunting along the Historic US 30. That highway, impressively, actually had too many waterfalls for us to visit in only one go, so we had to pick and choose a bit. This is Latourell falls, a fairly nondescript…

For Canada Day weekend (these photos are late, I know) we spent a few days at a cottage in Collingwood with my family. The back of the cottage went right out to the water, and I endured many a mosquito to get these pics, but they were totally worth it!

What’s a day in Niagara on the Lake without a visit to Kim’s Critter Collection (aka Gryphon Ridge Highland Cattle)? The evening was warm and perfect. Here’s Eddie munching away. I love the light in this shot. Cow trundling towards me… Closer… Closer! Aaaand someone just wants to give kisses. This little one. This is…

A few weeks ago, Rayna’s parents spent a week here in Toronto. Her dad, Jerry, is a shutterbug (perfect, right?) and I never did post the second half of our photo trip from that weekend–the Don Valley Brickworks. The Brickworks are a place where, should you be inclined to HDR, you can really have some fun. A…

Warning: Geeky photography stuff ahead ;) Some photographers are purists who stay away from creative techniques that can look bizarre or over-processed, but I believe that every photo trick, be it long exposures, HDR, or bokeh (to name a few) has a creative application that it’s just perfect for. My latest toy is the Hoya…

A few weeks ago, Tito and I took the cameras out for a drive to Peterborough to have a look at their 110 year old lift lock. It’s very cool–basically it’s a boat-sized swimming pool on top of a hydraulic lift, in fact, The dual lifts are the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world,…

Last night in Toronto we had some pretty amazing fog – couldn’t resist getting a few shots in!
