Haida Gwaii 2014

I headed up to Haida Gwaii to shoot for the West Coast Fishing Club for a couple of times this summer. Always lots to see and lots to shoot.

Here is a collection of some of the images.

Lee Metcalf Photo Walk

Lee Metcalf Photo Walk

I often like to go out for a photo walk especially if I am in an area that might have some Bald Eagles present. I have a bit of a photo secret. My most favorite thing to photograph is Bald Eagles!!! I am not sure why, but capturing them is incredibly exciting and when ever I get a free chance, I love to get out there and photograph as many of them as I can find.

Walking through Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge, in Stevensville Montana, is absolutely beautiful. There are so many different species of birds and wildlife through out this massive Refuge. In the evenings there tends to be a lot more activity through in the park and you can just drive through and jump out with your camera when you see something. There is around 2 1/2 miles of Nature Trails as well, so its a great place to hike, walk or explore.

Here is the website for the Refuge: Lee Metcalf

These photographs where taken on a Nikon D600, 1.7X tele convertor and 300mm 2.8 lens. Also for the barn shots I used a Fujifilm XE-1 with Zeiss Touit 12mm 2.8 lens.

Hit the Ground Running! This past week and a half have proved to be a crazy work week.

I flew in 4 planes, 5 helicopters (1 with the doors off), Up and down to Langara Island in Haida Gwaii twice, photographed 3 Weddings, Spent hours in a boat shooting in the rain, photographed a Galla at one of the most amazing hotels in Downtown Vancouver, photographed a Canucks Kids Camp, Baby Portraits and managed to finish editing a Wedding in my spare time!

Instead of posting multiple individual posts, I have decided to post them all together!

Here is a sample of my work week!!!
