We have done a good number of smaller camping trips around the island with some interesting photo opportunities for both landscape and wildlife but we have wanted to do something a bit more grand. Well a long ferry ride to Bella Coola pretty much fit that bill.

With the recent increase in cost of pretty much all data storage I decided it was finally time to purge my photo collections of redundant photos. Some of these photos I had not looked at for many years which lead to me taking a second look and reprocessing shots that I wouldn’t have bothered with at the time.

I have realized that I have a problem when it comes to shooting video, especially nature video. Simply put, it’s FOMO. I spend a great deal of time out in nature putting myself in a position to get that interesting interaction or moment that comes along so rarely.  I make sure I'm ready for the shot, settings optimized, keeping an eye on what the animals are doing in hopes that I might capture an eagle just as it grasps a fish in beautiful evening glow, or the smack of two bighorn sheep fighting on a rocky edge.
