Stormy Clouds, waves and rainbow over the Juan de Fuca Strait.

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Yesterday the wind picked up, the waves increased size and the sun was setting at 9pm. I knew I wanted to head back to Otter Point, just a short drive from Sooke, BC on Vancouver Island.

The cloud formations were amazing and the waves were crashing into the rocks.

I was shooting towards the west, trying to get some great wave breaks when I happened to look over my shoulder and spotted not one, but two ends of rainbows entering the ocean. I quickly packed up my gear and ran across the rocks to try to capture the light before it disappeared. I managed to fire a few shots off before it disappeared into thin air.

Please enjoy a few of the captures that I thought stood out amongst the group of them.

This week in Photography

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

After having bought a new camera towards the end of last year, proud to say a shiny black Canon 5D MKII, I’ve actually managed to get out twice now to take some photos and learn how to use it.

The first one was taken at Creyke Point, which is just off Aylard Farm in East Sooke Park. About 20 minutes drive from Victoria, BC.

I thought the small path leading up to the ledge with tree made this photo what it is.

And the next photo was taken near Otter Point, dragging my shutter for approximately 1.5 seconds. It started to rain at this point and I didn’t have as long as I would have liked at this spot. I shot this with the 24-105L lens that I got with the camera. I really miss my Sigma 10-20 which I cannot use on this camera because it’s a full frame sensor, unlike my XTi. I’ll be saving my pennies for the 17-40 I do believe.

I hope you enjoy these two photos.

Business location photoshoot for LeSooke, Spa in Sooke, BC.

Monday, November 30th, 2009

LeSooke Spa in Sooke, BC contacted Inktvis Creative looking for some new photos of the interior of their high-end spa for use on their website and new print advertising they will be doing in the upcoming months.

Owner, Michelle Bohn, had seen the photography work of Inktvis Creative’s graphic designer, Jason van der Valk and asked if we could come in for a couple of hours and take photos. Bringing along our Canon SLR Digital Camera, 10-20mm wide angle lens and tripod with shutter release switch, this enabled us to take photos of smaller areas, fitting most of the rooms in the frame as well as low light conditions. Perfect equipment to use for business location photography.

The beauty of natural light, coupled with low light and wooden floors and walls made for some very nice relaxing spa images, perfect for any advertising that LeSooke Spa may need, both in print and for web.

Once we were done on location, we brought home all the RAW photo files and went through and touched up, edited and presented LeSooke Spa with a CD of images they could use for years to come.

Michelle send us a lovely email stating..

“i love them!  Thank you so much, looks great”

Below are just a small sample of the many photos that we took on location at LeSooke Spa in Sooke.
