GOALS & MISSION

The goals and mission of this web site are to:

1) Provide a resource for learning about nature photography, art and great places to visit and photograph in Canada.

2) Get inspired - we will introduce you to a variety of different nature photographer-artists from around the world both professional and amateur. If you would like to be a featured photographer-artist please contact me to submit a short article and images.

3) We will provide tips and how to articles to help you get the most out of your camera and how to use the latest software such as Adobe  Photoshop.

4) We will reveal how to use some of the technologies in photography and on the web - including HDR, making panoramas, large format photography, Google analytics and photoshop techniques.

5) We will provide visitors with information about the science or biology behind the subjects being photographed e.g. see article on Aurora.

6) We will discuss different approaches to photography including issues about composition, art, philosophy and the ethics of nature photography.  

This web site is not just about my photography, but about many different approaches and styles. My overall goal is to inspire others to take up nature photography and to have a greater appreciation for nature in general. I also provide a variety of free teaching resources for anyone that wants to promote or teach photography.  Google analytics shows that the featured photographer\artists receive a significant amount of traffic from the links placed on their articles. Certainly I hope to promote my own vision, workshops and sell some of my photographs - after all I am a professional nature photographer - it's a lifestyle choice and not one that is making me or any other nature photographer I know wealthy, but it does make me happy. And as a good friend of mine said "We should do more of the things that make us happy and less of things that don't" - Dr. Wayne Lynch.
