Coquihalla River 1

The Coquihalla River beside the Othello Tunnels near Hope, BC. There was a lot of smoke from the forest fires in Washington State this day; so the sky is not very nice. I did not want to cut out the height of the rock face by cutting out the sky. The water level was low (August) and so I was able to stand on a rock/sand bar along the edge of the river. There were many boulders to climb over to get to the edge of the river though.

Bridal Veil Falls in the Background

This is Bridal Veil Falls near Chilliwack, BC. There was not a lot of rain this Spring, Summer and Fall; so, the water level was quite low.

Crescent Beach Sunset Starburst

I tried my hand at a sunset starburst. I managed to get one and also some glare. I thought the glare fit the image well; so, I left it in.

Crescent Beach Sunset HDR

I tried an HDR edit of a sunset at Crescent Beach, BC. I took 3 bracketed shots and brought them into Photomatix for a rough edit. Then I further processed the resulting image in LR, PS and ON1 Effects.

Hawk Hunting

This hawk was in the tree below my second floor suite hunting small birds that were in the hedges below while I was putting up my Christmas lights. He then flew into the tree at the end of our building and kept his eyes on everything below.

Leemur

I shot this Leemur in a tree at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, Aldergrove, BC.

Baby Duck

I waited along the edge of Brydon Lagoon until the ducklings swam by. This one probably thought I had food and swam towards me.

Hey, What Are You Doing?

I spent an afternoon at my friends shooting their cats. This is Tigs and she sat in front of me just staring at me while I was shooting the other cat Boo; so, I quickly pointed at her and took this shot.

Nox Profile

I was practicing off camera flash and used my cat Nox as the model. He was napping and woke up as I was doing my shooting. Sadly he passed away a week before Christmas (2015) and will be greatly missed. He was a great model and was patient with me for the most part.
