Endless Horizons

One of my favorite images that I have captured to date. Shot up in the central mountains of Vancouver Island, BC during a late-season solo hike. An experience I will remember for many years to come.

Breakthrough

A moment of clarity during a foggy 3-day hike up in the mountains of Vancouver Island.

Autumn in the Alpine

A sunset shot from my first ever solo hike up into the central mountains of Vancouver Island. I'm still just amazed at how beautiful this spot is. Having so much time up here to just relax and enjoy the scenery in solitude was a unique experience for me and one that I won't soon forget. I want to do another solo hike again soon, but the climate is only getting colder and I don't really enjoy sleeping in a tent when it's below freezing outside. But maybe I just need to suck it up... I mean, when you got views like this, you might as well suffer a bit right?

Gaining Perspective

Peering through some Fall colors at a popular lake in Banff National Park... It's crazy that it's only been less than 3 months since this big roadtrip to the Canadian Rockies and I'm already getting myself prepared for another trip down to the States next week. I've been pretty uninspired to shoot in recent weeks so I'm excited to go capture some more of the beautiful landscapes that the US has to offer. It's been a long time since I last visited some of the places that I'll be going to, so I am quite excited for what's to come.

Enlighten

The River of Luminescence

One of the first photographs that I took during my roadtrip to the Canadian Rockies this past Fall. I caught the earliest ferry over to the mainland from Vancouver Island and sent it to Yoho Park in time for sunset. The light and clouds were stunning that evening and ended up being the perfect conditions for sunset. Glad that I was able to make it in time to catch that light before it was gone.

Lakeside Serenity

Calm conditions at one of the most popular lakes in the Canadian Rockies. It can be a crowded place, and for good reason. Who wouldn't want to stop here on their way through the mountains? I know I couldn't resist.

The Flow of Nature

Layerize

Some coastal mountain layers captured 5000ft up in the central mountains of Vancouver Island. I took this image during my solo hike up 5040 Peak from a couple months ago. The views from up here were just spectacular. I could see across to the coastal mountains of the mainland on one side and see the open Pacific Ocean on the other. It was an amazing experience, and most of the time, I had the whole place to myself. Definitely one of the best hikes I've ever been on.

Contrasting Colours

Some moody post-sunrise skies at one of my favourite locations in the Canadian Rockies. This place is a fairly popular destination for tourists but if you come early enough, you can break away from the crowds and sometimes even get the whole place to yourself like I did on that morning. It was a pretty amazing experience to be able to photograph this gem in solitude for a few moments that day.

Castle of Colour

One of my favorite Autumn scenes that I stumbled across while exploring the Canadian Rockies. Only a couple days after this photo was taken, a powerful snowstorm came through and covered up all of these colourful trees with a thick layer of snow. I'm glad I was able to catch these colours before that happened!
