San Josef Bay is in Cape Scott Provincial Park, close to the northwest tip of Vancouver Island. I travelled there with friend, and fellow photographer,
@drakedyck.bsky.social
on January 30th. We arrived with only 1.5 hours of daylight left. Contre-jour lighting can be a challenge.

Normally I don’t post sports but the changes announced to the

Quick question for any of my photographer friends or anyone with knowledge of N-T-Fs. I have very little knowledge in this area and have what sounds like a good offer for several of my photos if I have them minted through a site called Arts Loom. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!
