It can sometimes be a challenge to photograph blossoms such as water lilies… from a distance… and still get the entire flower in focus.

This can create depth-of-field challenges.

Best BIF Settings
This article discusses best BIF (bird-in-flight) settings, and shares a selection of recently captured photographs of purple martins in free flight. All of the featured images were captured handheld at Biggar Lagoons Wetlands in Grimsby Ontario a few days ago during a quick 1.5 hour visit.

Newfoundland Whimsy
This article features a selection of images that capture examples of Newfoundland whimsy that we discovered during our recent visit to the province. One of the things my wife and I enjoy when doing a photography tour is finding some whimsy along the way. These creative expressions can often say a lot about the culture and attitude of the destination that is being visited.

Importance of Weathersealing
The importance of weathersealing is often not fully appreciated until one faces an extended period of inclement weather. Such was the case with our recent self-drive tour of Newfoundland during which we encountered 11 out of 14 days with rain and fog.
