August 13 – Strawberry Pass Trailhead

I casually stumbled across the “Nancy Green Summit – Strawberry Pass Trailhead” area off Highway 3B between the Highway 3 junction and Rossland while looking around at maps, so I figured I would drop by and take a look. There is a small parking area

July 23 – Nancy Greene Lake (again)

I wasn’t planning on going anywhere this week as the weather forecast was claiming rain in almost all of my favorite directions, but Thursday afternoon I checked the forecast and it looked clear up towards the Grand Forks and Castlegar areas so I packed up

This was actually from July 14th after my previous post where I was checking out a trail in Manning Park. I returned to Hope at around 7PM after the park visit but still too much daylight left to go back home. I typically drive the

My First Anamorphic Test – Kowa 16-S

I was bored and took my video gear out to the park. This is the Kowa 16-S anamorphic lens attached to an older Nikkor 50mm f/2 and adapted to the Panasonic GH5. All shot handheld at 24p. The GH5’s IBIS does make the vignetting worse

November 14, 2019 – CRX Night Photography

This was mostly just a night cruise before all the roads freeze. I took my CRX up the highway a little past Sicamous for fun, stopping at this particular stretch of the Trans Canada Hwy that has a smaller road running parallel. For this shot
