Here is a pre-dawn scene from Moraine Lake from the archives. This composition has more of a foreground that many of my others from there, although I wish I'd managed to avoid the large tree on the left. As always, any thoughts are welcome.

First time visiting Canada a couple of weeks ago. Spent 5 days in Banff and Yoho National Park. The scenery completely blew us away. We're already planning a return trip. Here's one from Emerald Lake in Yoho.

Good excuse to process this image on Hwy 11 near Abraham Lake in Alberta, Canada...

Winter is almost over but fortunately not everywhere! As expected, in Canada, we still have some snow out there.

Even though I might not be entirely ready to say goodbye to winter as I am a well-known enthusiast of snow and ice, it might be time to share with you a spring-related photo. Just to stay on top with the season and the awakening nature.

Glaciers constitute one of my most favourite topics to photograph. I am on a mission to document on my photos as many glaciers as possible before they melt. This particular one is located in Canada.

A magical evening on top of the mountain with lots of fresh snow and amazing light. One of the great properties of snow is how it can simplify and purify the landscape.

Even though I don’t remember anymore how many times I have been standing in this exact place shooting this specific view, I doubt I will ever reach a point of satiation. Every time, I am there, I feel like my Baffin Island Photo Adventure wouldn’t be fulfilled without a shot from this spot. The...

Aurora is a natural wonder that everybody should experience at least once in a lifetime. There are no two Auroras that are the same so the feeling is unique spatially and temporally. I specifically enjoy taking photos of Aurora just before it gets totally dark. When the last light of the sun is...

A photo featuring some mountains in Yukon, Canada. Single shot, ISO 64, f/8.0 1/10 sec 200mm

When the evening fog catches the last light of the sunset, it creates an ethereal feeling. I hope that this photo taken somewhere on top of the mountain captures just that.

Granted, I am a landscape photographer but why not change it for a tiny moment? Today I am providing a photo of our Canadian national animal! It was grazing somewhere in Jasper. Didn't seem to care about my presence.

For many, the Arctic is synonymous of a hostile environment and for most of the time, it is true. But each year, for a very short period the Arctic changes. This extremely sensitive natural environment that is fully productive each year only for a few weeks enables survival of many different...

My favorite shot from a week of fantastic back-country skiing at Rodgers Pass in BC. This was the run of a lifetime - no tracks, perfect snow with low avy danger, and sun! I made a large print of it for my friend Eric who buys a red jacket just for my pictures. I sure hope I can get a day this...

This is an image I shot in January and hadn't processed. There were other compositions from that morning that I decided at the time I liked better. It's funny how your taste can change over time and I decided to finish this one off as part of yesterday's Friday's Focus when Doug requested some...

Being in an amazing location with an enormous potential for interesting photos when the weather shows its ugly side can be discouraging if not depressing. When waiting for a sign of a clearing in the sky turns minutes into hours or even days, the mood darkens almost as quickly as the last...

This year I visited Baffin Island twice, about two weeks apart and this photo comes from my first trip over there in the mid of August. In the past years, I trekked on Baffin Island a bit later, when the fall was in its full bloom, or even when the winter was already spreading in the valleys and...

This year, the photo of Mount Northumbria opens my post-Baffin Island 2018 Workshops photos presentation. After five years of workshops that I am fortunate to lead in this extraordinary location, I become more and more interested in featuring less known, yet absolutely beautiful Baffin Island...

A busy and usually full of life mountain forest can easily become a temple of silence. When a fog suddenly engulfs trees allowing only a tiny pass-through for the light, the forest enters into a state of numbness. This sudden touch of silence that swallows up all noises brings a great...

There are places in this world that have a surreal, mystical quality to them. Spirit Island, which technically is not an island but a peninsula on Maligne Lake in Jasper N.P. Alberta, is one of those rare places. Only accessible by boat tour or a 14km canoe paddle, it is a place held sacred by...
