Digging through some old files from my trip to Antelope Canyon last August, and came across this. If you haven’t visited these Canyons before, the crowds are insane, and while a designated photo tour gets you an element of crowd control, looking up is another way to get some amazing shapes and textures without people. This particular shot was taken in between the “official” shoots and really struck me for its swirling/textured sandstone and monochrome colour. Antelope Canyon, AZ
A quick roadside stop in between sunrise and my first hike, I threw the car into the parking lot of Latourell Falls and quickly ran up to the viewpoint to capture this image. Some of the best images are the ones that aren't planned and you need to seize the opportunity and react quickly to get the shots you want. This was one of those cases where minimal effort (and a little luck) paid off! Columbia River Gorge, OR
One of the first real outings i've had since getting back from our summer travels; I ventured out to Meech Lake in Gatineau Park at the tail-end of a massive snowfall. Arriving around 9am, I was surprised to see that I'd be making the first tracks into the location. With this spot all to myself, I keyed in on the lone rowboat must have broke free of its mooring further up the lake and drifted towards this small run-off area before getting hung-up in the shallow waters. This ended up being a 4-row/32-shot panoramic image that was able to capture the incredible detail of the freshly-fallen snow on the trees around me. Gatineau, QC
