Snowy Owls

Bryn — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:38:41 +0000

This past weekend I made my way over to Vancouver to check out the Snowy Owls that have been spending the winter in the area. It has always been a dream of mine to see snowy owls, but had been putting it off due to the large crowds that had been gathering but finally made the decision to brave them. Seeing the owls was amazing but the crowds where worse than I could have imagined. It was depressing to see people making their way past the signs that clearly said to not approach the owls in order to “get the shot”. Beside this I was glad to see the birds even if I didn’t get the photo I was hoping to get.

Favourites of 2011

With the start of a new year it gives you a chance to look back on the year that just passed by. 2011 was a busy year for me and while I did get to take some amazing trips I didn’t get the chance to dedicate as much time to my photography as I had hopped. I am hopeful that in 2012 I will be able to have some more great opportunities like I did in 2011. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the past year.

I has been sometime since I have had a chance to post an update but I am still alive. This wallpaper photo was from a week long trip down to Smith Rocks down in central Oregon in October.

Lower Myra Falls

Last weekend I spent the long weekend in Strahcona Provincial park, one of my favourite places on the island. While Strathcona offers so many amazing locations but one of my favourite places is Lower Myra falls. It is a easy walk from the parking lot to a stunning series of cascades that make there way down to Buttle lake.

Panama: Gamboa Part 1

Bryn — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 04:31:08 +0000

At the start of June I found my self boarding a plane in Victoria BC with a final destination of Panama city (after a few stop overs). I spent 2 weeks exploring a number of different habitats with two friends and fellow photographers Seth Patterson and Gwyn Carmean.

After a full spent in various airports we finally made it to Panama city, as soon as the doors of the plane opened I knew I was in for a bit of a change from the temperate temperatures I am used to. After picking up our rental car we made our way through the city to the first stop of our journey, Gamboa.

Gamboa is a small town along the banks of the Panama canal and is a popular location for birding. The temperatures here where very warm and humid (mid to upper 30′s and mid to high 90′s humidity) which was a bit of an adjustment from back home. We spent much of our time looking for wildlife here which ranged from birds to mammals and everything in between.

We spent most of our first day trying to get our bearings and acclimatize, once that was done we set about trying to find some subjects for our cameras.

Geoffroy’s Tamarin

Hoffmann’s Two-toed Sloth

Sunset at the “ammo dump” ponds (explosives for use in the canal are stored near by)

An unknown frog that we found

A beautiful Cicada

I will add more photos from Gamboa tomorrow when I get around to sorting more of them out. I should be posting regular updates from my trip for the next week or so assuming I am not too busy.

It has been a while since I have posted an update, I have been very busy and was out of the country for most of June. At the start of June I was down in Panama visiting the country and taking photos (which I will start posting soon!).
