 | Amazon Rain Forest in the Rain
Location: Tiputini River, Ecuador (2006)
“This photograph was made from a boat. This tree dominated a bend in the river. The low dawn light and fog contributes to the silhouette.” |
 | Autumn along the Assiniboine River
Location: Sturgis, Saskatchewan (2009)
“Near the headwaters of the Assiniboine River. At this location and time, it was a quiet stream on a beautiful fall day.” |
 | Autumn Leaves at Baptiste Lake
Location: Baptiste Lake, Alberta (2008)
“In northern Alberta, most leaves turn yellow in the autumn. However these were predominately orange-red. I liked how the individual leaves make the photograph resemble a pointillist painting.” |
 | Boreal Coniferous Forest
Location: Kakwa Wildland Park, Alberta (2006)
“While helping do a biological survey of the park, we were flown by helicopter to various sites otherwise unreachable. The photograph was made near our camp at Dead Horse Meadows – an equestrian recreational area.” |
 | Foxtail in the Wind
Location: Roadside ditch, Alberta (ca. 1995)
“The shutter speed of the camera was slowed to catch the movement of the plants.” |
 | Hoarfrost on the Roof
Location: Preeceville, Saskatchewan (2008)
“This photograph was made with a telephoto lens when hoarfrost covered the area. Although this looks like a black and white copy, it is really coloured – but you have to look closely.” |
 | Leafy Seadragon - portrait
Location: Living Seas Aquarium, Orlando, Florida (2005)
“These pipe fish were constantly moving and the light was low, but after many failed attempts, one fish finally hovered under a lamp for a few seconds.” |
 | Robert; Red Sunrise and Branches
Location: Baptiste Lake, Alberta (2009)
“I never get up early enough in the summer to see this colour.” |
 | Sedges and Tree Reflections
Location: Muskeg Creek, Athabasca (2007)
“On first glance this scene may appear upside down.” |
 | Surf's Up Colorado
Location: Rocky Mountains, Colorado (2005)
“At first glance, this may appear to be an ocean wave but if you look closely, you can see details of the mountain.” |
 | Tenacious Juniper
Location: Kings Canyon, Kananaskis, Alberta (2008)
“I marveled at how the shrubs were able to cling to the cliff. With so little water and nutrients, they must be many years old.” |
 | Wooden Bench and Yellow Maple Leaves
Location: Naheeno Park, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia (1973)
“This photograph took three years to make. I was using 35 mm slide film and even though I bracketed the exposure, the bright background was either to light or the dark foreground was too dark. By the time I got the film developed, the leaves were gone. On the third year, I finally got it right. With a digital camera, it would have been far easier.” |
