Honey Mushrooms (2023)

Maybe a slightly uncomfortable image, but I see these #Mushrooms everywhere in our local #Forests and so I really wanted to try capturing the way they stack in these closely packed bunches. Due to the recent rains this bunch didn't have the usual dirt and leaf debris leaving them relatively pristine. The added moisture from the recent rainfall also gave them a special moistness.

Apricity (2022): the warmth of the sun.

Although some definitions suggest it is specific to the warmth of the sun in the Winter, I've always just know it as the warmth of the sun on a cold day.

Despite the summer look, I took this photo on a cool October day. The cool air of the coastal #PNW warmed slightly by the afternoon light that barely cutting through the #Forests canopy as I walked down the trails.

The Wolf's Paw

Often I show up early to pre-compose a shot leaving me waiting for the sun to shift and the light I wanted to reveal itself. This gives me lots of time to explore the areas around me, sometimes allowing me to stumble onto small scenes like this.

On this occasion I found pockets of air trapped in the ice, with a few pockets having broken the surface to reveal what look like a canine paw.

I've always been absolutely thrilled with this image I took of Crown #Mountain in #Banff #Canada

Specifically how the mid day light illuminated the closer peak and the clouds drifting between and around it to accentuate it's shape. The blue cast is from the haze in the air.

I might get a chance to revisit later this year which I'm excited about.

I have very little to say today, but wanted to share an image. So, instead, I leave this quote.

It is Wednesday! My favorite day of the week, because not only am I halfway to the weekend, but, it's also #WaterfallWednesday

This weekend I'm planning to chase #Waterfalls and will hopefully snag some new images. My #LandscapePhotography started with #Waterfalls so they have a soft spot for me.

These four are my personal favorites. The standard that I try to hold my future attempts to. Here's to #RealPhotosofRealPlaces

#ThickTrunkTuesday

The film version of my image Alleviate. I took this frame while exploring the #PNW coasts of #Washington and the #olympicnationalpark area.

I loved the way the sunlight was highlighting the edges of all the moss on these Alder trees. A beautiful display of #nature

Just found out my image is going to be included in the 4th Natural Landscape Photography Awards book! That means that while my image didn't win, it did make it into the top 1% of images!

This is the image submitted. The #NLPA awards focus on natural and true to life editing - so, aside from the b+w conversion this image is as if you were there with me. No AI, no Photoshop.

Looking forward to seeing this printed in person 😍

Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2019)
#ThrowbackThursday

Throwback to my first ever attempt at shooting the #Milkyway
I took on a big task, #Hiking 17km 1800m to the top of a #Mountain in the middle of the night on the hope I would get the shot... I still can't believe I had such an incredible success. This is still one of my absolute favorite #astrophotography photos.

Happy Wednesday #Mastodon!

I wanted to share one of my most popular #WaterfallWednesday images. This incredible location is sadly being threatened by development, but for now it remains a beautiful forest oasis on the coast of #Canada
