I hope frozen water counts for #WaterWednesday

An image from 2022 of the infamous Abraham Lake in #Alberta #Canada with its frozen methane bubbles trapped just below the surface.

The bubbles from my understanding are a result of organics buried in the lake bed after it was created by the nearby manmade dam. This place has unsurprisingly become a huge photo attraction as a result.

Karlsruhe Castle at night - before the renovations

Since I took this image in 2010, the castle grounds have been renovated and the fountain no longer exists. All of the landscaping in front of the castle has been changed. This was taken at 10 pm and just after I took the shots, the fountain was turned off for the last time and all of the lights went out.

It's #WaterWednesday and with it I share a gorgeous sunset I witnessed years ago after a heavy rainfall on the coast of #Canada
With the clouds breaking, the warmth of the evening sun cast a gorgeous fiery colour palette over the remaining storm clouds.

My partner noted this image yesterday to me - we've been looking through my archive picking out images to print for our walls at home. So this one is now high on the list.

Storm Jocelyn Lands, Isle of Harris (2024). We waited a good few hours at this spot, hoping that the oncoming storm would create enough sea swell to crash dramatically over this giant rock. The tide eventually came in at sunset, and we got a symphony of conditions — waves, light, and a double rainbow! One of the most exhilarating moments I've ever had the pleasure of photographing.

The White Swan (2023)

I had never been to #Toronto or #NiagaraFalls before, but choosing to go in the middle of winter probably wouldn't be my recommendation. But my partner and I had flight vouchers that were expiring and a quick trip to see such iconic places in #Canada was a great use!

Our visit to #Niagara became my highlight of the trip. A fascinating mix of commercialism and nature.

Sunset at the beach during the low tide. My fav sport - chasing fleeting sand patterns. Sometimes it feels like being a hunter - I need to setup where I think the patterns will form and wait. And then be quick before they are gone with the next wave.

It is Wednesday! My favorite day of the week, because not only am I halfway to the weekend, but, it's also #WaterfallWednesday

This weekend I'm planning to chase #Waterfalls and will hopefully snag some new images. My #LandscapePhotography started with #Waterfalls so they have a soft spot for me.

These four are my personal favorites. The standard that I try to hold my future attempts to. Here's to #RealPhotosofRealPlaces

The Pit (2021)

A difficult shot to pull off, id explored this waterfall a few times before managing a photo I liked. Straddling a small rock on the edge of the cliffs drop with my tripod balanced between a single leg and the strap around my neck I took this frame.

I particularly love this one because of the unfamiliar perspective of a #Waterfall it gives. Looking down, from the top.

I can't believe I've almost missed #WaterWednesday again. When I first started photography I often got called the #Waterfall guy because it's all I shot. Waterfalls became my way of learning #Composition in our local #Forest.

While the waterfall provided and obvious subject I could practice my framing, leading lines, and usage of foreground and mid ground elements to draw your eye to the main body of water.
