Out of six nights in Newfoundland earlier this year, only one delivered truly clear skies. I planned on shooting that night, but I didn't have a set plan, if that makes any sense!

These shots were taken from the top (and below) of the Nanny's Hole Loop trail below Long Point Lighthouse in Crow Head, NL they look out over a small cluster of islands—home to numerous seabirds—sitting under a star-filled sky.

The dark skies of Newfoundland didn't disappoint.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird: Before migrating across the Gulf of Mexico, these tiny birds double their body mass—metabolizing fat at an astonishing rate to store up to 2 grams of fat. This allows them to fly non-stop for up to 20 hours over open water without a single break to rest or feed.

Here are some captures of an Iceberg taken from different perspectives at Kings Point, NL on the morning of June 22nd.

Last night, the stars truly aligned — the clear weather, new moon, and my schedule allowed me to head out for some astrophotography.

At around 2:00 AM, while hiking back along Clam Harbour Beach from my initial shooting location, I caught a glimpse of the Milky Way core glowing vividly against the perfectly still, receding tide. I immediately stopped, threw down the tripod, aligned the tracker, and started shooting. There is nothing quite like the absolute stillness of the Eastern Shore in the dead of night.

Heading into Elliston for my second visit in late June, I had a few specific images in mind. I really wanted a portrait capturing the busy side of these beautiful birds. Here is an Atlantic Puffin collecting grass and dried roots to line its underground burrow.

A northern gannets soaring over the sheer cliffs of Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland. Every year, tens of thousands of these majestic birds return here to nest—this one was hard at work bringing back fresh seaweed for this year’s home.

Spent two mornings and an evening here this past June just watching these soaring dinosaurs do their thing.

Worth the rush. 🚗💨

Caught this solitary little guy bathed in golden hour light at the Elliston Puffin Viewing Site after racing over from Twillingate. This is one of many photos I made on the 23rd and 24th.

A small drop of photos taken last week in Twillingate. From the shoreline this icebergs was impressive. From 100 metres up, their true shape—and the brilliant turquoise water wrapped around them—came into view. The tour boat steaming into frame was the final piece, showing the true scale.

I Included a screenshot of the GPS coordinates for those interested.

Thousands of years in the making.

Floating past a massive wall of ancient history in Twillingate. It’s hard to truly comprehend the scale of these giants until you see a boat completely dwarfed beside one.

Threading the needle.
Between a rising Milky Way core and a waxing moon, the window was small—but the conditions finally lined up. It was a rare, perfectly calm, and clear night at Grand Desert Beach. Because lobster season was in full swing, it took quite a few frames to track the sky while managing the dancing boat lights on the water.
