Waterfall bucket list, photography bucket list and on the hiking bucket list for Port Alberni is of course Hole in the Wall!! A short easy trail leads through an old cut block before you enter a large mature forest with a creek running in the distance! As you get closer to Rogers Creek you begin to see “the hole in the wall” and it just keeps getting cooler and cooler as you get closer!! An old pipeline was blown through the wall many decades ago and was taken out after usage for many decades, the only thing that remains is this amazing “geological” feature!! If you look up hikes in Port Alberni this one always shows up and as touristy as this feature might be it is really a neat spot to check out!! •

This view from the Strathcona Dam outside of Campbell River is one of the most beautiful I have seen from a dam site. This image is posted in celebration of May is Photo Month.

Stand your ground.
Sniff out opportunities.
Use your strengths.
Live large.
Cherish the wilderness.
Know when to slow down.
If it itches, scratch it.

One of my first road trips when I moved to the island 5 yrs ago was to check out this unique waterfall. It’s still hard to drive through Port Alberni without stopping to say hi to an old friend. 💦

I like photographing the same scene in different seasons. This is Myra on a rainy day in January. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of a lake flows the waterfall.

Port Alberni ❤

#Throwback #vancouverisland

Where the river flows and the rapids are white... I feel at home.

But today, I am content at my bench. Dreaming of wild places and working away on mountain tops and cedar jewels.

Tell me, what are you doing today?

Sometimes I forget what it takes to scope out new spots to shoot, and sometimes I forget how nice it is to meet strangers. Thanks for posing shawnfishermusic

Composition tips:

Yesterday we went to this place called hole in the wall. If you search hole in the wall in Port Alberni you will see that this photo been shoot thousands of times and yet all the phitis I seen so far focused on the waterfall and the hole, however to create something that stands out we need a different way of looking at things, be different.

When I saw this place for the first time I didnt k ow there was water swimming hole in front of it and I didnt know the hole was this big! It was a Great composition but after a while it becomes repetitive. It's easy to see what's on the internet and get biased to shoot the same exact thing. It's easy to follow what others shoot over and over again.

Just like what I teach in 3pmp metgod. I encourage you to explore a scenery in a different way. Explore the area and the different perspectives you can get from it. Show the viewer a differ side of it.

I have a whole list of composition techniques that I always use to go back to when I struggle to find a unique take in a location.

So I took 2 different approach.

1. The whole is actually pretty big, so I decided to use human element as a sense of scale.
2. In front of the waterfalls there's a beautiful clear water with rocks scattered aroubd the side of the water. So I include these elements to create a foreground to hook you into the photo.

I use CPL or circular polariser filter to remove the reflection. I didnt need to us ND filters because it was dark enough under the shadows of the trees.

Let me know what you think?
