Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the glorious blood moon and lunar eclipse event due to weather conditions, but I did manage to capture the 98.5% full moon the previous night.

When I first got my telephoto lens, my sister asked if I could shoot the moon with it. To be honest, that hadn’t even crossed my mind. She went to tell me how she’s always wanted photos of moon phases and could never find exactly what she was after. So I started capturing the various phases, but never managed to get a nice, clear night when the full moon came around… until this past weekend.

Over the past year, I’ve spent hours capturing and editing photos of the moon and am pretty happy with my process and these latest results. Scroll through to see the progression from finished to raw photo.

1. Final edit with shadows and highlights added in Photoshop.
2. High pass filter added in Photoshop.
3. Lightroom edit.
4. Original raw photo.

Spring is off to a slow start this year. While my family back home in Ontario is enjoying temperatures on the high 20s, we’re sitting in the low teens with rain in the forecast almost every day. It’s been a bummer, as I’ve been itching to get out and capture some landscapes, but the weather simply isn’t cooperating. Hopefully the summer months will make up for it.

To say it’s been a long winter would be the understatement of the decade. At least in my world. Thankful for Spring showers which are bringing fresh buds to life. The days are getting longer and my morning walks are a heck of a lot more enjoyable as the temperature continues to rise. Next up are the cherry blossom trees, which are already starting to bloom.

My apologies if you happened to see this post previously. It’s been nearly 6 months since I edited photos and I missed a couple steps in the process. ...

I’m a UI/UX designer from 9-5pm, so should be no surprise that I love macro photography. Much like design, it’s all about the tiny details. And the details make all the difference.

As a kid, I enjoyed looking at things up close under microscope, and looking through a macro lens gives me that same type of joyous wonder.

After taking wide landscape photos, I like to switch to macro and investigate the area from a completely different perspective. These photos were taken at Mary Vine Falls a few weeks back. These tiny leaves and moss were growing on a fallen tree that stretched across the river.

Sooke has never looked so good! This was taken just a couple minutes from home, and I had no idea we had these gorgeous hills behind us. I totally lucked out with the weather this day, as it had been raining from the moment I got up. When the clouds parted and the sun came out, I grabbed my drone and hit the road. What I came home with exceeded my expectations.

Inukshuks are so common in BC. I see them almost everywhere I go. Since it’s forbidden to destroy an inukshuk, you never really know how long one’s been standing.
