Another great day exploring some of #albertacanada glaciers with some amazing humans @thewaterfallwhisperer and @_bernice_santos_ this is a special shot for me as it was my first time #rappelling into an ice cave. So much fun and so much more to learn 😃😃 thanks @thewaterfallwhisperer for setting up the anchor 🙏

A return to Elsa’s ice castle, only to find that it’s in its last days and is one of the very active caves around. This is a massive change to witness from the previous visit here around early January. Standing at the back of the cave ( a risky proposition currently ) gives you an idea of how massive this cave is and a sense of how much the glacier has receded since a couple of seasons ago. It seems like the current unsupported roof structure will not last much longer. Elsa stands among the debris and takes stock of what’s left of a very impressive Alberta ice cave. So long big blue ! Fun times exploring with @_bernice_santos_ @thewaterfallwhisperer

Chasing sunsets with seasons in transition always throws some of natures best magic. I was hoping to capture the lake colors of peyto and was hoping that the lake surface would not be covered with snow.  A few scattered clouds raised my hopes for a colourful sunset, but I was not very optimistic. Given the cold wintery conditions, not many stayed back to watch the sunset, but for those few that did, what a rewarding sunset it turned out to be 😍😍 the pinks, peaches and orange were just a magical treat to watch. The setting sun behind Caldron lit up those foreground trees with its pinks. The frozen lake surface reflecting those colours were just magnificent to witness. The auroras didn’t quite pan out tonite but I’ll settle for this sunset this evening 😀😀#banff #banffnationalpark #canada #heartsofcanada #imagesofcanada #sharecangeo #canoncanada #explorecanada #travelalberta #explorealberta #leefilters #nature #earth #earthfocus #earthpix #master_gallery #instagram #amongthewild #outside_project #outdoortones #tlpicks #depthsofearth #discoverearth #icefieldsparkway #peytolake

A great nite out chasing the Milky Way with @dylonwaldron. A bit of light pollution from #lakelouise but so nice to be able to shoot in dark skies. The air glow was really nice this nite. Going to miss the lazy core for a few months and can’t wait to chase the Milky Way next season!!

Another one from 30,000 feet above the ground shot. This was s a great way to chase the auroras as you don’t have to worry about clouds being a party pooper. Tried a few interesting things to block window reflections and next time would be great if I remember to bring along my lens hood to cut out those glares abs reflection. Had a great time at the @aurorasummit conference. A great couple of days spent with fellow chasers sharing stories and knowledge and fun times putting a face to the names 😀😀!

A moody day and the openings in the clouds sprayed some interesting light during the long exposure. After attending the @aurorasummit a few of us decided on this pitstop before my flight out. Fun shooting with the Airbnb gang @shelbydiamondstar @astrolunaticx @sank_the_monk @kinjalistic @aimeesphotographyadventures. Must say that @shelbydiamondstar picked out a great place by the water for us all and also glad that she took us to one of her favourite spots for a quick photo shoot. A bit of fun had with #longexposure. Missed our other airbnb buddy @vincentledvina.

A first time for capturing natures finest show at over 30,000 feet. This was a special shot as it was on my way back home from the @aurorasummit conference. A great couple of days spent with fellow chasers sharing stories and knowledge and fun times putting a face to the names 😀😀! Great memories!

The play of light and moving clouds created a colour pallet that was so worth every ounce of effort to hike up here. The beauty of fall colors in the Canadian Rockies is so much more appreciated as the season is very short. The LE adds a bit more character to the sky while the valley below lights up. A great day out hiking with @_bernice_santos_

One has to hit this spot in fall to understand why this is such a popular spot. Such a beautiful gem nestled in the Canadian Rockies and with the banning of private vehicles this year, time spent previously at this location will have an enhanced sense of memories.. fall in the Canadian Rockies 😍😍😍

I have been a bit behind in posting lately 🥺 this was a shot from late summer in bortle class 1 skies. I am always a big fan of the details of a single shot you can get in the Milky Way when your settings and dark skies come together (can get as close to a tracked shot). I did attempt to climb that rock, but bailed as half way up I was not sure if the footholds anymore… glad that I got this location off my list this season!

This past week the conditions were ideal to witness the magic of two seasons coexisting. A bit of snow in the heart of fall season made this shot happen. Fall happens to be a very narrow window of opportunity in the Canadian Rockies, so glad that my timing was just right to get out for this image. Now looking forward to what winter will throw our way 😃😃

Beauty of fall or impending winter as you see it. The collision of both these seasonal worlds set up the scene for this shot! My first time hiking this circuit (although this was plan B) and thanks to @johnandersen8338 and an overcrowded parking lot that led us to this 😀😀. The light was not the best for most part of the day and later in the day the clouds parted a bit and the sunlight lit up the valley. It was a bit difficult to do LE given the changing light, so I ditched my filters and slapped on the Sony 12-24 and tried to capture as much of the scene as possible. That f/g snow provided the perfect leading line into the bowl. These are those moments of natures brilliance that make that makes all the efforts so worthwhile to experience this scene 😍😍

The simple beauty of #banffnationalpark. This iconic lake is a great spot to spend some quiet and calm late summer nites and watch the sun go down. Love that time of the year as once done shooting sunset the wait for darkness is not too long to shoot the Milky Way after. A desaturated image captures the serenity of the scene!

The sound of flowing streams has a nice calming effect. Another beautiful spot along the hike to Cirque. Stopped over on my way back and it was worthy of bringing out a ND filter in order to get the long exposure flowing water effect. The log bridge across the stream was a perfect spot to add a human element into the shot. Presenting the beauty of Banff.

A bit of calmness and the reflection of Cirque peak in Helen lake. A great spot to break for a bite before the summit push. The early am fog had just cleared presenting this view, the cloud motion was slow for the long exposure, but the reflections were awesome. A bit of light dusting of snow on the mountain and the days objective beckons. Beautiful 360 views from the top made it a worthwhile summit efforts!

The @parks.canada red chairs at this iconic #columbiaicefield was the perfect spot to relax and take in the rise of the #galaxy over the most visited glacier in @canada. The area offers some of the best #bortle class skies for stargazers. The air glow was really nice this nite.

I have had this vision for a little bit now and it was nice to turn it into reality 😀😀 the cloud cover along the parkway was not looking all that great but data was showing pockets of clear skies in between. A bit of a drive and a nice lonely hike to the ridge and made it to the top just before sunset. Boy it was windy and cold and I was not fully prepared for the winds. Just as I thought that I would be the lone human representation at Wilcox this nite, It was nice to see the approaching headlamps of  @jmwoverland and Brian for company.  I braved the cold winds and finally the  MW core made its appearance as blue hour faded and darkness too over. It was fun to see the meteor shower from the summit in close to bortle class 1 skies. I had to tighten my comp to include just the #athabascaglacier as I had picked the lighter 24mm lens. The views of the surrounding glaciers was so worth freezing myself the the scare from the reflecting eyes of a presumed #marmot on the solo hike down in darkness. Presenting the milky way alignment over one of the most visited glaciers in Canada.

Elsa’s ice castle - one of the best caves I have explored so far. A bit of a tricky cave to explore, but so glad that we did as this was a heaven for compositions. @_bernice_santos_ strikes a pose right underneath that icicle which was one of the cool features in this cave.

Always fun when the sky lights up at this location! Had to use the Sigma20 on the Sony for this shot as I don’t have filters yet for my Sony 12-24, liked how the comp turned out with the lake taking more dominance in the F/G. A beautiful and calm nite to be out chasing sunsets 😍😍

The night sky last nite in the Canadian Rockies was something else. A perfect combination of dense thick clouds… fog rolling and hugging the mountains.. a nice 85% moon hidden in the clouds and illuminating the clouds and a bit of light pollution from Banff/Canmore adding an fire sky effect. Oh! There were a few stars popping in and out as the clouds moved, the longexpo led to the startrail effect. Lovely dramatic sky…

A nice bit of road trip in search of bortle 1 skies. Well worth the all niter for some insane air glow. It was awesome to see the nite sky in all its glory and such a contrast from all the clouds and fire smoke skies we have had in Alberta lately. My first visit to this beautiful dark sky area and learnt that it’s easy to climb rocks at night and quiet a bit tricky to climb back down at night. Such a great nite to be chasing stars with @johnandersen8338 and lovely to meet fellow chasers @2closelife and @imagesqt

Finally a bit of clear skies in Alberta and this was a great nite to be out and experience the beauty of the nite sky. Stars galore and a bit of wild flowers in bloom. This is a tracked single shot and it was difficult to balance the light in the F/G and B/G. Perhaps a blended shot the next time I am here. Was fun to meet up with @dylonwaldron after a long time and catch up with times gone by 😃

Milkyway season 2023 has been peppered with clouds and forest smoke in Alberta. Here is one from one of those rare nites of clear skies. Hopefully more such nites over the next couple of moon cycle! A beautiful nite chasing stars with @johnandersen8338

A memorable nite of chasing the Milky Way. Love the near bottle class 1 skies here and it’s always a great nite when you can shoot at night in shorts and t-shirt in Canada. Yes! There is actually a desert in Canada 😀😀

A beautiful nite of chasing the sky with some lovely humans in some high places. Sunset.. Milky Way and a lovely surprise auroras. Hopefully more such summit hikes this Milky Way season and hoping that the clouds and forest fire smoke cooperates! A great nite out with my peeps @spiritnorth @_bernice_santos_ @thewaterfallwhisperer.

The beauty of the northern lights in all its glory dances across the night sky, ribbons of reds and greens intertwine, creating a celestial ballet. In this celestial theater, time seems to stand still as your inner child is transported into a realm of pure wonder. It is a reminder of the Earth's connection to the greater cosmos, leaving all who witness it with a profound sense of awe and mystery. A great nite out chasing the lights with @johnandersen8338, @ginayeo_photography @cmstewartphotography @stevint @dianachaseryyc

This was a great nite to try out my newly arrived Astro modded camera. Can’t believe this was a full moon nite and the auroras was rocking the nite sky overhead. Still a ways to go in learning to find the sweet spot on the Astro modded camera, but love how this one turned out. A great nite out chasing with @johnandersen8338 and @hoodoos84.
