Harvest Moon
October 9, 2025
October’s full moon is known as the Harvest Moon. With Kitimat finally experiencing clear skies, it was my opporunity to shoot, mainly with my new Sony 400-800 lens.

After the storm
September 28, 2025
It was a stormy night and early morning on September 27, when I went to Haisla to photograph the unveiling of the legacy pole. I noticed that the storm had uprooted a tree and it had somehow become planted in Douglas Channel just off the village dyke. The sun had come out for the pole […]

I was very hesitant, the base price is $4099.99 in Canada. After months of mostly glowing reviews the tempetation was increasing. Here in […]
Ravens, gulls, sunset and a crescent moon
August 30, 2025
It was a spectacular sight last night and I didn’t have to leave my front driveway. Some shots are a bit grainy, an artifact of my Sony RX10iii which I grabbed when I ssaw the show. The final two moon shots are taken with the Sony Alpha 7II and my new 400-800 lens, which was […]
