First Quarter Moon. My focus bracket experiment ends tonight and I am so pleased with the results. #Astronomy

Goodnight from the balcony 🌙 Almost first quarter tonight — couldn't resist grabbing the OM-1 Mark II and experimenting with a 7-shot focus bracket to pull out some of that crater detail. Sweet dreams everyone. ✨ #Astronomy

Look up tonight! 🌙 We've got a waxing crescent moon — 30% lit and getting brighter every night. First Quarter is just two days away. Who else is a sucker for a good moon sighting? 👀 #Astronomy #WaxingCrescent #NightSky

If you look at the 11:30 position from the top of the building you can see the bright dot of Jupiter. Goodnight.

Tonight’s Moon in its Waxing Crescent Phase. #Astronomy

Looking forward to spring, like when I took this shot of a momma and cubs at the buffet in Banff.

Two Moon shots with different M43 lenses. The left using my 150-600 f5-6.3 IS & the right using my 50-200 f2.8 IS Pro. #astronomy

Yikes. I forgot to mention where my April adventure will be. Ta-da.

Not this year!

Yup. Still cold outside. 🥶

BIG Announcement coming tomorrow.
Last April our big photography adventure was at Salt Spring Island, BC.
Tomorrow I will announce Dave’s April Photography Adventure Location for 2026.
I am so fricking excited!!
Feel free to place your guesses in the comments below. 🤓 Cheers!

I’ve seen a lot of complaints on other platforms saying the Sportsnet+ app crashes around eight times a day. I’ve had CBC Gem for a year now & haven’t had a single issue. I pay $5.99 + tax/ month for the ad-free option. Just a heads-up: live events still have ads, but replays are completely ad-free.

Canada’s well known guardian of the skies and land. The Cobra Chicken or as it is more commonly known, the Canada Goose. This one’s in a stare down with me. It was a draw in the end.

The guns were returned because the gun owner petitioned to have them returned and the court granted that petition.

Another view of a female house sparrow here in downtown Calgary from Jan 31, 2026.

Blue Hour sunset from the balcony. Enjoy! #Calgary

Two shots, One bird. This male House Sparrow was one of the highlights of my walk about downtown Calgary. Such a cutie. Shot taken January 31, 2026.

Tonight’s incredible sunset from the balcony here in Calgary. We are looking southwest. Cheers. #SunsetPhotography #yyc #Sunset

Made it to lunchtime. Yay.

Here’s another shot of my friend in mid conversation with me. I use my voice to make bird whistles and clicks. #BirdPhotography

One of my Magpie friends in the city loves to chat with me.

Last evening’s Moon shot from the balcony. It’s a bit hazy due to the cold temperatures, steam exhausts from high rises around me and other environmental factors, but overall I am pleased with the shot.

Anyone else excited to see more light on the walk home from work?

Fog isn’t always a drawback in photography.
When used thoughtfully, it can add depth, atmosphere, and a sense of drama to a scene, like these two shots of mine from a few years back. #Photography

Three hours later, the fog remains. Very persistent I say! 😜🤣

Thank you to my followers. Each and everyone.

The world feels heavy sometimes, but community still matters.
In the New Year, may we support one another, think critically, and lead with empathy.
Wishing you peace, strength, and better days ahead. Happy New Year Blueskiers!

Tonight’s Moon from the balcony for December 27th. Have a great night. 👍 #Astronomy

Well I am excited for you, however when my partner and I are out storm chasing, we don’t have the luxury of thinking, planning and setting up. We have to move quick and fast, plan our shots while we are driving/Navigating. Your method is not feasible for me. Every method of photography have merit.
