2017 June – God of Small Things

Flower, Sea to Sky, Squamish / 2017-06-20 2017-06-21 / By Grant Bruce

An afternoon walk along the Mashiter Trail with Wally – one that we do several times a week – this time I took a macro lens and stopped along the way to take photos along the side of the trail – reminded me of the title of a book I once read and enjoyed by Arundhati Roy called “God… Read the rest

Flower, Photography, Sea to Sky, Squamish / 2015-09-13 2015-09-14 / By Grant Bruce

Took the dog for a walk on a trail behind our house along the Mashiter Trail with my 105mm macro lens – this is a lovely “true” macro lens that is also a great for portraits. A challenge I often bump into when using a macro lens is the shallow depth of field, especially when dealing with small subjects. It’s… Read the rest

2015 Feb – Early Flowers in the Highlands

Flower, Sea to Sky, Squamish / 2015-02-14 2015-02-15 / By Grant Bruce

We’ve had an unusually mild and wet winter, with temperatures reaching the mid-teens over the last few weeks. Gardens throughout the Sea-to-Sky corridor are coming alive several weeks earlier than usual, and we’re hoping that a late hard freeze doesn’t occur (although the skiers amongst us probably don’t agree). I took advantage of a break in the weather to take… Read the rest
