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.

Longhorn
This bull (I checked the undercarriage) and his friends occupy a field Somewhere In Niagara. Longhorn Bulls are usually peaceful, grazing contentedly away in peace even when my wife and I drive up and sit watching. Sometimes they will amble over to take a look at these new two-legged things. After all, there isn’t much…
Balls Falls
Autumn gold in the leaves complements the ochre and brown of the canyon walls. A silky look to the water was achieved by using a tripod and a slower shutter speed of 1/15th of a second. ISO100 kept away digital noise, and a 42mm focal length worked with an f18 aperture to keep the whole…

Somewhere In Niagara Shop
The Somewhere In Niagara online store has been live for a week or two now. This innovative initiative allows locals to either stop by and pick up prints, or have them delivered – anywhere in Niagara. These print sales put expensive gas back into my ever-thirsty tank, and bring the beauty of Niagara to more…
Buffalo Water Intake
Our Image Of The Week is this closeup of the Buffalo water intake at the mouth of the Niagara river, Fort Erie. The windmills of New York State dance along the shoreline behind, like backing singers at a concert, while a multitude of birds fish frantically in the foreground. Residents may not have seen this…
Take It To The Bridge
Sunrise is spectacular. Even more so when viewed across the Niagara River at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie. The blue-lit bridge contrasted with the dawn red as the sun poured out of the sky across the fast-moving waves of the cold Niagara River. I took many shots on this amazing morning. Here are just…
From The Parkway
As part of ongoing site development I have made some sweeping changes over the last week or so. Long overdue, this site now has new features and capabilities, one of which is improved photo management. So I wanted to try those new features out, and this image from a trip along the Niagara Parkway last…
