Early Morning Sunrise

Getting Ready To Play Some Acoustic Shows

Been practicing this past 6 months with KJ.  We're lining up some acoustic performances in town and getting our feet wet in the Thunder Bay music scene.  Here's a song from a practice session the other day.  We covered The Smiths "There is a light that never goes out".

Sunrise Over Little Trout Bay

We were up extremely early to put some miles on to get to this amazing spot in time for #sunrise. There is a serenity and peace of mind experienced when you greet the day as it glows over the horizon.⁠

Here's some stills:

Fall Colours On Maximum

Finally! Managed to get out this weekend and shoot some fall colours! I've been worried that the trees could be bare at a moment's notice. Similar to the 'GYM', Blair Wright and I have started a buddy system. With the weather getting colder it's tempting not to get out of bed early in the morning. If we had bailed I wouldn't have captured possibly one of my best images to date. Be sure to checkout: Blair Wright @bmwphotoca Dihao Fann @dddffan

Did You See That Epic Sunrise!?!?!

We're you up early enough Sunday to see that Sunrise? Were you? No?  Lucky for you I captured it on video! Enjoy your tea in your snuggly bed as you watch as I got up in the dark to set off for Chippewa Park with my camera.

Search for the Fall Colours

I headed out with my new to me GoPro in search of Fall Colours at the tree farm. More of an excuse really to try out my new gear and some Davinici Resolve Colour Grading.

I love the song and it just adds so much purpose to this otherwise 'meh' vlog of mine :) Music By: LEONELL CASSIO Night Sky (ft. Julia Mihevc)

Why Wasn't I Using My Bike This Summer to Explore???

I was eager to get out on my bike and had some setbacks. What it all worked out and I managed to try some methods I've been learning about in this project. I used 3 seperate cameras (Nikon D3100, Samsung S8 and a cheap 'gopro').

I especially wanted to shoot 'something' to test out a new color timing/grading application called 'Davicnci Resolve' that I've been learning about. This is my first use of it and it's getting me close to the look I want. I wish I had more time to really figure out the scopes and and color manipulation.

I went for the classic "Film Grade" look with a Kodak Lut and manipulated the color levels. I think it's pretty decent for a first attempt. I managed to figure out a decent workflow as well going back and forth between my main editor "Cyberlink PowerDirector" and "Resolve".

Hope you enjoy it!

Don't Worry - I managed to use that 'B' Roll

A sunset on the rugged and serene Lake Superior. Beautiful in all it's raw untamed glory. I had my camera on me and shot a bunch of 'B' Roll of my good friend who was hunting for treasure. Music by Kage/The GrandView

Hiked to the top of The Sleeping Giant and it was Amazing! Landscape Photography Day Hike

I promised my cousin that next time she came to visit that we would hike the Sleeping Giant. As we got closer to the day I started looking into the trail maps as I haven't done this hike in a very very long time. I was shocked to see it was going to be 22 Kms!

We weren't biking in either. I was a wee bit apprehensive when the top of the trail was designated 'extreme'. What was I getting us into? We planned out which day to go based on the forecasts, packed some supplies and my camera gear and set off. This was an amazing experience and I would recommend this particular day hike to anyone who is in reasonable health. Most of the hike is pleasant and mostly even terrain.

The new trail the park has built to divert away from the boulder path is superb. The top part of the trail is a bit taxing as it's where you actually start trekking to the top. But don't worry - If I can do it - so can you! And it's so worth it!

Thunder Bay Chill July 2019

I had my camera on hand at the Chill game over the weekend. The skies over the city have been very hazy due to the forest fires in the area. The colours weren't doing anything for me so i opted for black and white. The event lent itself to a 'journalistic' style so black and white seems to have fit the bill perfectly. The good guys won in exciting fashion and then signed auto-graphs for all the young fans. I hope the players felt like rock stars.

Sawyer's Bay

It's 8AM and I'm standing on the dock of the bay as the last minute assembled crew of Straight Jacket arrives with gear, food and coffee.  The sun is already high in the sky, the breeze is light and an overall sense of  happiness is in the air.

It's a couple of hours motoring from the marina to our destination of Sawyer's Bay.  It's the little secluded inlet behind the head of the sleeping giant.  There's already a few boats moored off and we link up with them to expand the raft.   It's a race day and this is the starting area.  As more boats arrive and join up - the conversations grow to a dull roar.  Sailors are walking across all the decks to meet up with others.  We have our own little waterworld here.

Eventually the time comes for the skippers meeting outlining the course set for the race.  We dismantle the barge one by one and start the race before the race.   Everything by now is rigged up and we're ready to embark on a 7 hour sailboat race that parallels the 'Giant' then best course back to the city across the bay.

It was a beauty of a day for sailing.  I packed my Nikon and snapped some pics throughout the journey.
