New Autumn Images

Hello everyone.

Autumn has to be one of my favourite seasons of the year to get out and photograph! The days are shorter (so more sleep for me), temperatures are cooling off, bugs have disappeared for the most part, and nature is putting on a spectacular show. This can also be one of the most unpredictable seasons of the year as you are never quite sure how long it is going to last. Here on the prairies, if you are blessed with some warmer autumn temperatures it usually brings with it wind, and that wind can strip all the beauty off the trees fairly quickly.

The season started pretty early for us this year - about seven to ten days early with cold temperatures that kickstarted the change in colour. Fortunately the leaves held on (even through some crazy windy days) and autumn stuck around for quite some time - well into the end of October which isn't normal at all! This allowed for an unexpected extension of fall shooting and I tried to take advantage of it as much as possible.

Here are some of my favourites from the last two months - hope you enjoy.

Website Update!

Hello all.

Just a quick note to let you know that I've finally updated my website.  FINALLY!  It's been a long time in coming, but I finally have new images and galleries for you to have a look at.  I hope you enjoy the new images from the past year!

Wanasing Beach Sunrise

Hello all!  Today I wanted to share with you something new that I've been trying out over the past nine months or so.  My good friend Cory introduced me to time lapse photography about a year ago and it wasn't long before I was dappling with it myself!  It's always a bit of a dilema for me when I go out to shoot now - do I concentrate on my still photography, or do I try some time lapse?

The thing with time lapse is it takes your camera away for at least an hour or two - maybe even longer if you are shooting the night sky!  Usually something amazing is happening as well, so the dilema is real when it comes to stills or time lapse!  It takes about 500 to 800 images to put together a small video (usually between 15 and 30 seconds worth!), so you can see that it is time consuming, and it will take a bit of time to build up a nice catalogue of video.

Eventually we want to add a time lapse dolly into the mix in order to introduce camera movements while the time lapse is going on.  Hopefully sometime early next year we will have that in our hands - it should be a lot of fun!

Anyway, here is a small sampling of a sunrise I shot while out at the lake with my family this past September.  There wasn't a lot of colour, but the clouds were intense, and the results are fantastic!  I hope you enjoy!
