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

November 5, 2019 – Barnes Lake

This is a location I recently found while poking around maps and street view. The location is not far from Ashcroft, BC and I timed my arrival for around sunset. The “recreation site” I took this from is basically a single campsite on the side

Old Rail Bridge – Highway 97

I was headed north on Highway 97 to Chasm and I noticed this rail bridge over an old stretch of road. Wanted to get a closer look as it seemed odd for part of a road to just be sitting there going nowhere. Had to

This is one of my early practice shots when I first bought my Nikon D7200. I like the look of this photo but I don’t consider it to be anything special. Seems like the kind of photo you’d find as a computer desktop picture. This

August 14, 2019 – Manning Park

I parked my car at the Monument 78/83 trailhead parking lot sometime after 6:30PM and headed down the trail a short way until coming across the Similkameen River bridge. I was hoping to capture some long exposure shots of the water but nothing turned out

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,
