One of our favourite memories from our trip to the Magdalen Islands in the winter was the photography. The islands practically capture themselves. There’s a remarkable vibrant and clear quality to the light in the winter and when paired with the landscape, magic is created in front of your eyes. Thinking back on the planning ...

I love my iPhone.  It’s my workhorse when I’m travelling and more and more I’m finding that sometimes it’s just a lot easier to take my phone out of my pocket and snap a photo.  Thing is, while the camera itself is good, it’s not like my mirrorless camera where I can switch lenses for ...

How To Shoot The Northern Lights In Iceland https://goingawesomeplaces.com/how-to-shoot-the-northern-lights-iceland/ https://goingawesomeplaces.com/how-to-shoot-the-northern-lights-iceland/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2017 12:00:22 +0000 https://goingawesomeplaces.com/?p=16207

The aurora borealis is something that we’re all chasing after when we think about Iceland.  It’s the northern dream so to speak.  It waves, it dances, and it glows. Thing is, it glows a lot less than you picture in your mind.  All the photos you see out there show the northern lights as this ...

I have a confession to make. I love camera bags.  It seems that I have a new bag every 6 months.  The reason why is that it’s so hard to find that perfect bag.  Some excel at certain things while others excel at others.  So when I heard about PeakDesign’s new Kickstarter campaign dubbed the ...

There are just a lot of experiences and moments that can’t be captured with a static photo.  That’s probably most evident from my recent trip to Ethiopia and the clanking of bells, harmony of celebration, rhythmic stomping of feet, and cracking of the whip at the Bull Jumping Ceremony I witnessed.  When sharing that story, I knew that ...

Let’s face it, finding a good camera backpack is hard to find.  Now take that difficulty and multiply it by 10 when you need something that’ll be able to handle the rough outdoors and overnight camping gear.

Why carry all that SLR weight when can go mirrorless? This blog post has been a long time coming but chalk it up to additional testing over this past year. As some of you may know, this year I decided to take the plunge and kind of went all-out and bought everything I needed for ...
