I am a working photographer, videographer, and drone pilot. I’ve been serving the Niagara region for 2 decades.
This is the blog section. It’s not about work, you can read that on the other pages and see some portfolios if you want to. This page is about the fun things in my life. Photography. Nature. Technology. And whatever else I feel like writing about. It’s about life, the universe, and everything. From Carl, your friendly neighbourhood Camera Guy.
Geese On A Pond
Driving around as I do, I see lots of geese. I mean, lots. Sometimes hundreds flock together in a field and squabble over territory. Or fly in uneven formations through the sky. Or just float serenely on a pond. These two were getting comfortable exploring this little corner of the universe. I suspect nesting and…
Waterway
The Niagara River forms part of the natural border between Canada and the United States. It stretches from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, along the way dropping over the world famous Niagara Falls. From the Canadian side you can see upstate New York, including parts of the city of Buffalo, seen here through the International…
My Favourite Tree
For several years I drove from Port Colborne to St. Catharines to earn a crust and pay the bills. I would vary the route, setting off early to see what new and exciting things I could find along the way. This is a really good way to make the commute to work more interesting and…
Fort Erie Peace Bridge Sunrise
Another day, another epic sunrise at the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie. Fort Erie has a lot of other attractions. But this does take some beating. Sunrise coming up over Buffalo is spectacular. This image is available in many formats including gallery wraps, metal, and art prints.
Port Colborne Interactive 3D
I live in a small community on the North East shore of Lake Erie, called Port Colborne. The main highway between Canada and the U.S. runs through the North side of town, all the way to the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie. But there are many other attractions than the road out of town. We…
Photographers Like To Expose Their Triangles
Photographers, as a species, are a funny bunch. They come in all shapes and sizes. Are young and old. Are passionate about their brand of camera, be that a smartphone, a DSLR, Mirrorless, or film. And argue constantly about lenses, composition, the rule of thirds and many other arcane intricacies. One thing all have in…
Carolinian Canada
I have not quite yet summoned the courage to venture into this particular wilderness. More accurately, common sense tells me this would be a bad idea. Courage has no relevance here. Let us, rather, not be stoopid. It is an area of significant import, biologically, geologically, and geographically. Carolinian woods and forests and, yes, swamps…
Stop Sign
Here in Ontario, Canada, we see STOP signs in back yards. I doubt they will worry traffic, except for the occasional speeding lawnmower. And as we all know, deer can’t read, so they won’t. Stop, that is. There’s a bad joke to be made about why we put ‘Deer Crossing’ signs in high traffic areas…
Up Close with a Snowy Owl
This owl is a resident of the Canadian Raptor Conservancy, a bird habitat / sanctuary on the outskirts of Simcoe, Ontario. This wonderful place is home to a wide range of birds of prey (raptors) from around the world, and also home to a large following of photographers like myself that regularly visit for a…
