I recently had some metal prints done by a specialist printing company in Florida called Shiny Prints, and the results were fantastic. I’ve written a much more in-depth post about their services and they results I got over on Shutter Muse, but I just couldn’t help sharing a quick note about them here too. This …
If you’re reading the blog posts in chronological order, you’ll know I had a less than pleasing travel experience a few days ago on a flight to the Yukon. It seems that air travel is only destined to get more complicated, and on my return flight to British Columbia this morning with Air North (actually …
I generally enjoy the process of flying to, from or through Canada’s airports. They are usually friendly, efficient places to be, and travel normally seems hassle free.

I often find similar products from competing brands at roughly similar price points, so it’s good to know how a company will react to a warranty issue, or simply a …

This week I’ve got a new 10% discount for people who are looking to make a purchase from Macphun, including the brilliant Luminar software, and the only HDR software I use: Aurora HDR. All you need …
Never seen this before! A really cool way to use a sequence image!
I recently worked with the Telegraph newspaper from the UK to compile a series of winter sports photography tips for their travel supplement. These tips are now available online here.
Whenever possible, I try and work with my friends and partners in the industry to bring you guys a discount on the products that I use. When it comes to filters, I use the Firecrest ones from Formatt-Hitech, so I’m pleased to be able to offer you guys a 10% discount on everything in their …
