Tonight I stopped by a friend’s property near where I live. He has a lot of interesting things to photograph. My favorite is the inside of his hunting shack. I remember having a couple bears there in winter. As you can see, there is no insulation. We depended heavily on the fire to keep us warm!

Last night I decided to revisit Sandilands Lookout, in Sandilands Provincial Park, as I call it. In. I am really glad I did and glad I got there when I did. The sky was dancing with clouds and colors which made for a great sunset series of shots. The first image is made from 15 shots with my 70-200 turn 90 degrees. The final cropped size is 18,900 x 2716 (50mp). The second is made from 6 shots with my 10-22mm wide angle lens. This time of year is perfect for shooting as the mosquitoes have finally let up a bit! Below are a couple shots from my first visit to the lookout. On the drive home I had to stop and get a shot of the highway and sky. The shot is made from 2 exposures. One to capture the sky and a 30s exposure for the road manually stitched together.

This weekend we had a chance to go to the lake again. Friday night I had a chance to get some sunset shots before dinner. I had the perfect spot to take some sunset shots. As I was getting set up, someone on a jetski came and ruined the glass like water. Using a 4 stop ND filter I tried my best to smooth out the water. I didn’t have much time or I would have waited for it the get calm again. On my walk to the spot I came across many bones. This stretch of the #1 highway is very dangerous. On the way home I decided to take a couple detours and snap some shots. I found a sunflower field. I swear this is the biggest bee I have ever seen. I finally got to do a vertical panorama of train tracks. Got to see some of the damage done by a tornado that hit the area recently.
