I was asking myself why on earth I decided to pack my solid metal large format camera on a 6 hour hike. Now that it is all over I think it was worth it.

Here is a 1 minute exposure of the stars. Luckily a car drove by and illuminated the foreground.

I was out for a ride on my 696 and stopped to take a photo of the beautiful sunset. I hope to capture a few more of these in the coming months.

Thanks Amber for helping me out with these images.

Well, I finally made another gigapan image. This one is my best one so far. See it Full Screen.

5 sec, iso 100, f22, 7 stop ND, 24 1.4 L. Nothing beats a prime

These images were taken at my good friend Joel’s new house in Calgary.
