June 1st, 2013 was a night I’ll never forget.

It was a busy night at work and I finished all my duties early so I could leave work 15 minutes early to get run home and change and so I could shoot from 11pm until 4am because the sky started to get bright.
It was a warm night because I was shooting the northern lights in flip flops!

I had dreamed of catching the northern lights over Mt. Rundle for years and it finally happened that night. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to capture the strong displays of lights a few times over Rundle like this. But this will always be my favourite.

Just got back from a wonderful couple days down in Waterton. This was a special trip because I got to see some fresh new born moose babies take their first steps. It was incredibly adorable!

I have so many more photos of this experience but for now here is these moose puppies probably 8-9 hours old. (I know they are called calves but I really feel like puppies is also fitting because they are so cute) lol

This was shot on the Canon 200-800 at 742mm.

I like to look back at some of my older night photography photos. I feel like I should shoot come star trails again this year. I’ve really missed making those.

My trick to star trails is I watch Die Hard while shooting. It’s exactly 2 hours and that gets a great amount of spin in the sky.

Which do you like better? Long exposure or regular?

This is a Horned Grebe. They are very cute :)

Both images shot using my RF200-800mm f6.3-9. These were both shot at 800mm and f9.

Spring!
I find spring in the mountains can be a bit overlooked. The winter was long and there is always this rush to have summer save us from the snow. But in that rush for better weather, it can be easy to miss the moody mornings, the short grasses, the small buds and flowers on the trees.
I am looking forward to foggy season :)

I have a few dates left in May and June if you want to head to Banff to experience some beautiful spring mountain weather with me!
