Somehow it’s already been over a month since my last post, even though it feels like last week. Time has a way of slipping by lately. This one’s from our time in the Basque Country, northern Spain. A wet, gloomy day among these beech trees, perfect conditions for this kind of scene. The moss-covered roots and the orange foliage on the forest floor just worked together beautifully.

I’ve been meaning to post this image for over a month, but I clearly underestimated how little time I’d have to do literally anything once our little girl arrived this summer. Dad life moves fast!

This was taken on our last night in the north of Spain before heading back to Barcelona for the final couple of days of our trip last year. The skies were pretty clear, which is never ideal for photography, but we still got some really beautiful light and colours, even without the clouds doing their thing. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post. Have yourselves a great weekend!

I've been wanting to see this spot again since the first time I came here a couple of years ago in the late fall. I didn't get one of those wild, colourful sunsets I was hoping for, but I did get some decent soft light before a cloud swallowed the sun on the horizon. Guess I’ll just have to keep coming back until I get that perfect sunset.

Hard to believe it’s already been 11 months since our Spain trip. This shot came together on our last night in Barcelona, before heading off to Basque Country in the north. The skies didn’t deliver the clouds I was hoping for, but the golden light made up for it. We stumbled across this random little beach with very interesting boulders, just minutes from where we were staying in Canet de Mar.

As I was setting up the camera, working out the best composition for this scene, strolled right into my frame and insisted I turn it into a mini portrait session before the light disappeared. And really… what kind of husband would I be if I said no to my one-month-pregnant wife asking for photos at the beach while mother nature served us this light? In the end, I’m glad she walked into the frame because this turned out to be one of my favorite shots from the trip.

I visited this spot in Yoho National Park 2 or 3 years ago and spent quite a bit of time searching for a composition, but nothing really spoke to me that day. I knew I’d eventually come back for another try. Although I enjoy going on photo adventures with like minded people, this time, I went on my own allowing me to slow down and tune everything out giving me the chance to really connect with the scene. It was also nice to return to what brought me to landscape photography in the first place, shooting waterfalls which I have not been doing much this past year or two. Thanks for stopping by!

Last weekend, we drove over two hours chasing moody skies to shoot a waterfall—rainy and overcast was the goal. Naturally, the weather had other plans. By the time we got there, it was bright, sunny, and far from ideal for waterfall photography. But the trip wasn’t a total wash. On the way back, we had an incredible surprise, a mama bear and her two playful cubs putting on a show. Sometimes, nature has better ideas than your shot list.

As a Game of Thrones fan, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe was at the top of our list when we got to the Basque Country.
We were greeted with a lot of rain—pretty typical for the region—but got lucky the day we made it out here. The rain eventually stopped, though the sky was still thick with clouds when I took this shot.

Even under a grey sky, the place has a kind of quiet, majestic beauty that hits you as soon as you see it.
Later on, the clouds started to break, and we ended up catching some incredible light and a beautiful sunset. I’ll share those shots in my future post of this location.

This is one of those locations that I like to revisit from time to time and experiment with different composition. I have posted a couple pictures from this place about a year and a half ago, but this is my favourite image I've gotten out of this location as of yet. I was able to climb down lower this time to eliminate the flat section of the creek between the fall in the background and the two falls in the foreground giving more depth to the scene and making the two falls in the foreground more prominent.

I lost count at how manytimes I woke up at stupid o'clock for a sunrise only to be disapointed with a grey overcast or clear blue sky instead. So imagine my excitment when I was driving to my location and I started to see the sky light up behind the mountains. There was one problem though, I was a few minutes away from the trailhead and still had to hike 2km. I started to worry I simply wouldn't make it on time. I had no idea I had it in me to sprint for 2km with a 40 lbs camera backpack on my back, but with the right motivation, I guess anything is possible! Once I got to the spot, the sky was on fire and the sunrise was at its peak. I didn't even have time to catch my breath, I setup the camera and started shooting. ⁠

This image is a focus stack of 2 photos plus a third darker exposure blended in for the sky in order to preserve the details in the highlights. ⁠
Back in September when the larch season was at its peak, we set out to hike up a ridge in Kananaskis so we could photograph some peaks along with the beautiful golden larches in the scene. When we got to the top of the ridge, the surrounding scene took my breath away. But as it often is with landscape photography, the golden larches were in one direction and the light was happening in the opposite direction. I opted to capture the beautiful soft golden light kissing the Elpoca peak to the North. Despite not getting the larch trees in my shot, this hike was incredibly rewarding as I walked away with an awesome shot!⁠ let me know what you think down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!
