Rolling on Through

I captured this scene during the golden hour this past Sunday evening. It’s been quite a while since I had the motivation to get out and do some photography. It felt great to get out and capture this scene. Once all of the individual images were stitched together to create this, it turned out to be a 60” x 40” image. The water was flowing really quickly, as it had been raining pretty hard all day. With so much mist in the air it created the sun glow at the top of the scene. I’m really happy with the way this turned out. #landscapephotography #beautifuldestinations #hike #photography #photooftheday #art #artistsoninstagram #artgallery #artgram #naturephotography #homedecor #wallart #fineartphotography #fineart #ragingriver #spring2021 #natgeolandscape #travelphotography #ontariotravel #nikonphotography #nikon #kasefilters #ambassador #oaggao

Bank Street Bridge - Black & Winter Reflections

The Bank Street bridge is such an iconic location in Ottawa, offering passage over the Rideau Canal and the worlds largest outdoor skating rink in the winter when it is partially drained and freezes. The ice is just starting to form, with large pockets of water, and if I had to guess, the ice is less than an inch thick at this time. The sheen from the ice was providing a nice reflection of the lights from the bridge. Taken at dusk, November 29, 2020 This image is roughly 36" tall, and 64" wide in it's native resolution at 300 dpi.

Stormy Foggy Morning at Mer Bleue

Another extra-large panoramic stitch. This image is now just under 2gb in size. I had to reduce it's size to get it to display in Lightroom. This scene is meant to be printed at 80" wide by 44" tall.

Busy Beavers on a Foggy Fall Morning

There is nothing quite like a beautiful crisp fall morning at Mer Bleue with a low hanging layer of fog over the bog. This scene is made that much more special because of the three beavers that were busy building their den for the winter.

Little Islands along Ottawa River

Taken just before blue hour over the Ottawa River, looking down off of the bridge. This is a multi column panoramic image. It had been quite stormy late in the afternoon, which made for some nice clouds. Unfortunately the clouds were a bit too thick on the horizon, so there didn't end up being much color in the sky at sunset.

Gatineau Park Stormy SquarePano

Today was the first time I had a chance to get out and really put the new Kase Wolverine filter system to the test. I hiked down into a small lake in Gatineau park. The winds were blowing steady making it impossible to do any bracketed shots. I got out the Kase system and using the magnetic circular polarizer with a 6 stop medium graduated filter I was able to balance the scene really well, no need for bracketed shots to be able to recover all of the detail! Yeah! This is a three row, multi-column panoramic image with over 10,600 pixels on the short side. With this much resolution, it will print nice and big easily! (at 300 dpi that works out to a 36" tall print without any resizing!)

Getting Close to the Edge - Ottawa River, Ottawa, ON

I'm always looking for new and interesting locations around Ottawa to capture. This was taken just before sunset on a cool December evening looking away from the sunset to capture the alpen glow in the sky. I really liked how the ice was very thin around the bolder in the river, and how the ice disappeared towards the island allowing for some nice reflections from the bare trees on the island in the middle of the river.

Calabogie Fall Reflections after Sunrise

Taken early one fall morning, this is one of my favourite "go-to" locations.
