HOW A TYRANNOSAURUS REX GOT INTO MY CAMPSITE.

Sayyy what now? Well I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now, and using realistic dinosaur toys on a camping trip, I brought it to fruition in a new Youtube video! Its a little wacky but I'm proud of it 😁

In this reel, which is one of my more pretentiously-edited videos to date 😅, I showcase a sampling of my timelapse sequences from this season, as well as some unseen lapses from 2024!

July 17, Southeast of Ottawa, I time lapse a much-welcomed cold front that finally breaks us out of a humid heat wave.

Exhilarating day today! The road network of Rural South Ottawa was very kind to me, and staying ahead of the line of storms that marched across Ontario was a breeze! I was able to drive, stop, shoot & repeat many times over as the huge whale's mouth chased me for hours.

The wildfire smoke drifting in from other Canadian provinces reached the Ottawa valley, and put on a red display from the setting sun over the Ottawa River. I captured this with a time lapse near Arnprior, Ontario.

Walking along, and I happened upon this predator/prey encounter! To make it even luckier, I had some diffuse overcast light to work with, which limited bright highlights and deep shadows, so we can actually see the rear fangs of the Garter Snake in great detail, as he subdues the American Toad.

Did you know Garter Snakes are venomous?! This was only recently discovered in the early 2000s. This VERY mild neurotoxin is pretty much harmless to humans, but some people might experience some skin irritation if bitten. These snakes don't have hollow fangs to deliver the venom like more exotic snakes do, but rather "chew" it into their prey after it is secreted and mixed in their saliva.

It's been 16 months since my last solo backcountry adventure. This fall, I visited Round Schooner Lake in Eastern Ontario, with a goal in mind.

Here is my teaser trailer. Its untitled as of yet, and I'm giving it a real good spit shine, and I hope to have it out within a week!

With the relative lull in severe weather around Ottawa as of late, I was able to sit down and finish a chase video.

I intercepted this storm as it entered Kemptville, ON on July 6th. This clip is a condensed version of the main event of the day, which followed an afternoon of time lapsing beautiful sunshowers and rainbows in southeast Ottawa. I'll link the video in comments if you'd like to see more of that.

This bolt outside of Dunrobin ON today gifted me (and anyone else here who wants it, feel free to download it) a new phone wallpaper.

The "Whale's Mouth" is what the storm world calls this turbulent forward section of clouds in a well-established storm. It occompanies the first gust front of a storm, where cold air rushing out of the storm lifts the warm air up to condensation level. The newly-forming clouds swirl and churn up into the mass, and it looks amazing in time lapse!
(Today's time lapse sequences haven't been processed yet, they take some time. Stay tuned for all the great stuff I saw today.)

I set out in search of beasts, and found beauty instead!
