Three different shots of Lake Winnipeg’s wave action, shot near Loni Beach and Gimli Beach. These were all done using a panning technique, although this can be somewhat replicated in photoshop, anything I can do in camera and not behind the computer is always preferable. I spend too much time sitting at the computer as [...]

Gimli Beach on Lake Winnipeg, an hour’s drive north of Winnipeg. With my wife’s nephew in for a visit from Thunder Bay, Ontario, and him suffering from extreme boredom of hanging out with a couple 40 somethings, we decided to venture out to a friend’s cottage in Gimli. More specifically Loni Beach, just north of [...]

Two best friends sharing a park bench at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg. I really like this image, not only because of this wonderful dog, but the fact he and his owner are glancing at each other as they watch passers-by. Photography is much about timing and this is a prime example of that fleeting [...]

Debates over lens choice rage all over the internet. Normally I don’t get involved with this sort of thing, but recently it got me thinking about my own choices. First off let me just say, I truly believe the photographer is primarily responsible for the quality of his/her work. Yes, I know it’s a cliche’, [...]

Sunset over Mt. Rundle, Banff National Park, Alberta Often as photographers we are fortunate to get those magical lighting situations, where the sky or background is stunningly lit, but the foreground is deep in the shadows. This is when it’s time to really concentrate on the silhouette or backlit shot. Sure if it’s a landscape [...]
The ‘Rule Breaker’

When this female moose ran by on a foggy fall morning, in Jasper National Park, I fired off a quick shot. When I checked my settings, I was instantly disappointed. Shutter speed was only 1/25 not nearly fast enough to freeze motion, the histogram showed blown highlights and I only managed a single frame. We [...]
