A week or so ago I went to find a way to photograph this bridge in Sackville NB. Easily visible from the highway but it took a trip with google maps to find a way into the area. This is the digital copy photographed with my Fuji GFX The film version is still in my camera! Oh and yes I waited...

Evening on the river...

I've been AWOL the past few months, recuperating at home from a serious back injury. Will probably require back surgery early next year to fix the problem. In the meantime, at least I can walk again, but not well enough to run around and take pictures. Here's a still life I did the other day in...

A small section of an indoor palm plant with sunlight reflecting off its leaves.

My first go at ICM photography. Here's a shot of some reeds by the pond behind my house. A bit of a learning curve to use this method. Most of the shots I took were badly overexposure. This one turned out ok. Shutter priority @ 2 sec - vertical panning Cable release

What you see here is the southernmost point of mainland Canada in a place called Point Pelee National Park. A couple of miles beyond this spot is the U.S. Some year ago, I was shooting long exposures standing on this narrow, sandy spit of land overlooking Lake Erie. It was a relatively calm...

Hi all, I’m Chair of Junction 36 Photo Soc. We’ve currently got a mono competition underway, entries include both digital and scanned film, we are looking for an experienced monochrome photographer to judge the entries and provide some brief feedback. The comp is to be judged on Friday April...

Shot this one way back in 2003 at Black Creek Pioneer Village, Toronto, Canada.

I shot this one standing on the pinnacle of Burrard St. Bridge, Vancouver, Canada as the setting sun shimmered off a phalanx of condo buildings.

Another snowy day in my neck of the woods. While plodding through the Mackenzie Wetlands, I spotted this very strange tree. It looked as if it was about to walk in the deep snow.

I've been very fortunate to have several consecutive days of sunny, blue skies here. Nice to get out to hike, explore and take pictures. This tree caught my eye. The sun sets so early at this time of year. This one taken around 3:30 pm using bracketed exposures and processed with Ian B's 32-bit...

One of the oldest and, I believe, the longest covered bridges in Canada (62m). I've shot this bridge at different times of the year, but I think winter is my favorite.

Timing is everything in landscape photography. Another late afternoon photo taken in Monument Valley, November 2010. The Navajo call this rock formation "Ear Of The Wind" The EF 16-35mm does an amazing job at creating starbursts.

Agathla Peak a.k.a. El Capitan is the core of an ancient volcano, ten miles south of Monument Valley, Arizona. It rises over 1500 feet (457 meters) above the surrounding, barren desert terrain. The peak bears spiritual significance to the Navajo people. I shot this in the late afternoon back in...

Here's a rework of one taken in 2009 in southern California. Joshua Tree National Park overlooking the Santa Rosa Mountains. Multiple exposures blended using Ian's 32 bit exposure blending.

This is an impromptu shot of my wife taken yesterday morning at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area north of Newmarket. We had just finished a long hike, and she had stopped to rest. As I walked behind her, I beheld a glowing corona around her hair cast by the bright morning sun. Photo enhanced with...

We've been having summer-like weather here for the past week. It's almost too good to be true, so the wife and I have been hiking through local conservation areas, a different one every day. This clump of birch trees really caught my eye with the bright sunshine reflecting off their silvery...

Shot in 2007 in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie area, Montreal, Canada. My wife grew up in this area.

Toronto's historical Union Station with its grand pillars/Beaux-Art style architecture. I shot this circa 1998 with my first digital camera.

I shot this in May 2006 outside St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada. It was taken on the fly and didn't have time to adjust my camera to the optimal settings. My only regret is the inclusion of the tree on the right and I wish I had zoomed in to get a tighter crop. The lads were yacking hilariously...
