Hike for a view

I went for a hike on Friday morning and shot this photo. I thought 300mm would be long enough, but to be honest I think I needed a little more reach. Sadly the only 400mm lens I have is absolutely massive and there is no way I’m dragging that monstrosity up a mountain haha. With …

It’s Nice in Mexico

Ok, so this is a picture I took on my last trip to Mexico. The reason I am sharing it is because it is so ugly out around here right now I’m struggling to get myself out the door. Since I was digging around in some old Mexico pictures I figure I’ll just post some …

West Kelowna View

I was in West Kelowna yesterday and I found myself in front of this great view. I’m not big on mountain and lake views, I’m more of a city view kind of guy. However, I do realize that this is definitely a nice view. I think I like this mountain view better than most because …

Winter Cemetery

I had to pick up my son from his friend’s house yesterday morning. His friend lives up the hill from us and I had seen this Cemetery before when I was driving up there. I figured I’d bring my camera a long see if I could get a picture. I think I actually like the …

Didn’t make it out

Well I didn’t make it out yesterday, but here’s a picture from the day before haha. I honestly had all intentions of going out for some snow pictures, but it wasn’t super cold yesterday and by noon all the white snow had turned into a mucky mess. When the snow is all dirty and gross …

Bright Boardwalk

This boardwalk has so many lights! I used to go walk down here more often, but it’s actually pretty short, so I don’t go down here much anymore. I do like the way it looks at night though. Any boardwalk with lots of lights looks so good to me. This picture might be better on …

How is it Christmas Eve?

It is hard to believe it is Christmas Eve! This holiday season just zipped by so fast for me. All month I have been well aware that Christmas was fast approaching, but for some reason it just has not really seemed to sink in for me. I will be attending a large Christmas dinner on …

Rotary Marsh Sunset

I walked out of this building by the Rotary Marsh Park bird sanctuary to this amazing sunset! I only had my phone on me, so rather than miss out I just used what I had. There was a time when I wouldn’t have even been able to get this type of photo with my phone, …

Kelowna BC on Fire!

I don’t even know what to say about this picture. In the afternoon the McDougall Creek wildfire was just on the other side of that mountain and smoke was flying into the sky like it was coming out of a cannon. I never thought it would start burning down this side of the mountain towards …

A Warm Street in Mexico

As I sit here and it’s clearly freezing cold outside I can’t help but think back to last year around this time when I was walking around San Jose del Cabo, Mexico in a t-shirt and shorts. I love walking around taking pictures in warm weather. When the streets are icy like they are here …

Kelowna City Views

Kelowna is more nature than city. However, if you live in one of the buildings downtown you can get a decent urban view while still maintaining the whole nature thing. The city is built around this massive lake and is surrounded by mountains, so I don’t think you really ever loose the nature aspect of …

I Went Back

If you saw my last post you know I wanted to get that same picture, but with sunset light. I tried to get there in time for the sunset but I was just a little too late. I stuck around the area and shot some other photos I wanted to try and then when it …

Fall in Full Swing

Well the fall weather is in full swing here in Kelowna. I’m trying to get out and take pictures while it lasts because the temperature is dropping and the leaves are really falling. I’m sure the snow isn’t too far off so I better take advantage while I have the opportunity. There is a little …
