Autumn in Prince Albert National Park
At the end of September I led a photography tour to Prince Albert National Park in northern Saskatchewan. We were fortunate this year to be in the park right at the time when leaf colours were starting to change into the full glory of autumn colours. The weather was also very cooperative; early in the weekend we had some interesting clouds for late afternoon and sunset photography. Saturday was overcast which allowed us to spend more time inside the woods and focus on colour patterns and details on the forest floor. It cleared overnight and on Sunday morning we enjoyed photographing gentle...

I took the group down to the banks of South Saskatchewan River to work in the area with a lot of interesting patterns created by water erosion of sandy beaches. A few ravens kept us company...

The outdoor and nature photography workshop at Shekinah Retreat Centre was a great success. A full slate of ten people showed up and patiently listened while I was presenting the introductory tutorials. Here is what some of the participants have to say about their experience: – “Thank you for the very educational Photo Workshop…. I learned so much…. just wish my brain could retain all of it.
