Sometimes, the best shots happen when you take the back roads!

Southern Alberta | October 3, 2026

Heading home after photographing Banff and Yoho National Parks, I decided to take a quieter back road and stumbled upon farmers finishing their harvest.

This massive combine had just cut through the field, with several more lined up behind it, ready to continue.

The golden-orange crop, brilliant Alberta blue sky, and grain dust billowing behind the combine made this a perfect harvest scene in my eyes!

After days of photographing mountains and waterfalls, it was a great reminder that Alberta’s rural landscapes have a beauty all their own.

Sometimes, the best photographs happen when the weather doesn’t cooperate!

Emerald Lake, British Columbia | October 2, 2026

After a cool, rainy day in Yoho National Park, I arrived at Emerald Lake just as the sun was beginning to set. Low clouds had swallowed most of the surrounding mountains, but one peak in the background kept making brief appearances through the mist. Higher up, fresh snow added another touch of autumn magic to the landscape.

As the rain eased, these canoeists took the opportunity to enjoy a break on the turquoise waters of Emerald Lake.

What I love most about this photograph is the contrast between all the elements. The brilliant red canoe against the turquoise water, the small splash of orange foliage on the avalanche chute leading down toward the lake, and the moody, overcast sky with that mountain just peeking through the clouds.

It’s a reminder that you don’t always need sunshine and blue skies to create a beautiful photograph. Sometimes, the rain, mist and changing weather create the atmosphere that makes a scene truly special.

Traveling Into the Fog, When the Journey Becomes the Photograph

Sometimes, the most compelling photographs aren't about capturing every detail. They're about capturing a feeling.

On a foggy October day in Banff National Park, a bus makes its way across a metal bridge above the Bow River, heading toward the Bow Valley Parkway. Mist wraps around the bridge, softens the surrounding trees, and gradually swallows the bus as it moves through the landscape.

I used a slow shutter speed to introduce motion blur to the bus, giving the image a sense of movement while the Bow River flows beneath the bridge. The fog adds mystery, depth, and a quiet atmosphere that makes this ordinary moment feel like a journey into the unknown.

Photographed on October 3, 2026, this image is a reminder that sometimes, you don't need perfect weather to create something special. You just need to see the possibilities in front of you.

**🌊 40+ YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY… AND THIS ONE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL! 🍂📸**

In more than 40 years of photographing waterfalls, I’ve captured countless scenes of moving water, but this image from **Yoho National Park in British Columbia** has quickly become one of my all-time favourites!

Photographed on October 3, 2026, during a cold, wet day of rain and snow, this scene has everything I love about waterfall photography. A spruce tree frames the left side of the image, while the river flows over and around rain-soaked rocks, splitting around a massive rock in the middle before seemingly disappearing behind the rocks in the foreground.

But there’s a little secret to this scene! 😉

The photograph was taken just above **Natural Bridge Falls**, where the powerful waters of the Kicking Horse River disappear beneath the natural rock formation. What looks like a river vanishing behind the foreground rocks is actually the water flowing underneath the rock itself!

The overcast skies and soaking-wet rocks brought out incredibly rich, vivid colours and textures. Sometimes, the best photography days aren't the sunny ones!

📸 **The camera details:**
• Camera: Fujifilm X-T50
• Lens: Fujifilm 15–45mm at 15mm
• Shutter speed: 1/4 second, handheld
• Aperture: f/22
• ISO: 125

Everything just came together perfectly in this image. The composition, the flowing water, the rich colours and the atmosphere of that cold autumn day all worked together exactly as I had hoped.

In fact, I loved this photograph so much that I’ve already printed a copy and have it on display in my office. It’s a wonderful reminder of just how special that day in the mountains was.

**Sometimes, you don't just take a photograph… you capture a feeling you want to experience all over again. ❤️**

What do you think? Would you hang a photograph like this in your home?

🍂 **STOP SCROLLING… AUTUMN LIGHT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!** 🌅

There’s something magical about those quiet fall mornings when the rising sun transforms an ordinary scene into something extraordinary.

While walking around Henderson Lake in Lethbridge, I caught the early morning sun breaking through the trees at the east end of the lake, lighting up the cannon and the surrounding golden grass. For a few beautiful moments, everything seemed to glow.

Fall may be far too short in Southern Alberta, but when the light is this spectacular, it reminds me why I love getting out with my camera. Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right place at the right time. 📸

📷 **Camera:** Fujifilm X-T50
🔍 **Lens:** Fujifilm 15–45mm

Have you noticed how beautiful Lethbridge can be in the early morning light?

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, British Columbia

October 2, 2026, was an amazing day to be out photographing in Yoho National Park.

A rain / snowstorm had just moved through the Rockies, leaving the rocks wet bringing out the deep colours and textures of the rock faces. Takakkaw Falls cascaded down the mountainside while wisps of cloud drifted in front of the falls and the mountain.

Off to the left, a tree beginning to show subtle shades of yellow and orange was a reminder that autumn is quickly giving way to winter.

Cool temperatures, rain, snow and ever-changing skies created exactly the kind of conditions I love for photography. Sometimes the best photographs happen when the weather isn't perfect.

On a cold, fog-filled morning in Banff National Park, a CP Rail freight train winds its way around Morant’s Curve, slowly disappearing into the mist as it heads west through the Canadian Rockies.

The train and the surrounding forest fade into the fog in the distance, creating a wonderful sense of depth and mystery. Just beyond the train, the Bow River can barely be seen through the mist, adding another subtle layer to the scene.

Framing the foreground are two striking trees—a beautiful spruce on the left and a brilliant orange autumn tree on the right. Their rich colours stand in sharp contrast to the cool, muted tones of the fog and mountains beyond.

It is a scene that captures the rugged beauty of the Rockies, where railway, river, forest and changing seasons come together in one quiet and atmospheric moment.

Peyto Lake, Banff National Park Canada. Friday October 2, 2026 the evening was wet and cold as the clouds could not decide whether to rain or snow. Fresh snow on the mountains around Peyto Lake and even on the side of the trail leading to the lake indicated that winter had arrived in the mountains.

I love the clear spot in the clouds on the right. To me the clouds indicate the arrival of winter and that clear spot is the last part of summer slowly shrinking.
