Beaver Pond Trail in Manning Park

This ended up being a lucky shot as I had originally driven past the sign for Beaver Pond Trail while cruising through Manning Park, but turned around on the highway out of curiosity as I had never stopped there before. This was taken August 8,

Hwy 5A Merritt to Kamloops

One of my favorite routes for pleasure cruising is the old Princeton-Kamloops highway. The stretch between Merritt and Kamloops is a scenic drive and typically not a whole lot of traffic.

This photo was taken in the evening of July 24, 2019. I spent the day around the Slocan Valley area with my camera but didn’t end up making any photo stops. I’ve driven past this barn numerous times over the years but never really thought

I took off for the day expecting to capture some landscape and sunset shots, but the only one that ended up working out was this random photo I took on the side of Highway 99 close to the Highway 1 junction near Cache Creek. I’ve

This was the view behind me as I was driving south on Highway 97 back to Kelowna at around 4AM. This was 10mm on my Sigma 10-20 lens, f/11 and 10 second shutter.

The sky was pretty much grey all day today but I went ahead and hiked up the Boulder Trail in Okanagan Mountain Park. Happened to notice this little guy right at the side of the trail and luckily he stuck around long enough for me

The weather on this day wasn’t overly spectacular but I figured it would be nice enough to try testing out an ND filter and long exposure on moving water. I’ve never used one before so shortly after I bought my Sigma 10-20mm lens I also

May 15, 2019 – Highway 5A

I originally intended to do a day of hiking but wasn’t feeling fully up to it, so I spent a number of hours ripping around highways in the CRX. I happened to be heading down Highway 5A toward Princeton, BC from the junction at 97C
