Closeup of a Manitoba Maple spring growth in my yard today. Taken with a nearly 50 year old Pentax 100mm macro on my Canon EOS R5 using PK-EF-RF adapters. There was also a thin extension tube.

Collecting all the ticks my wife and I have picked off ourselves in the last 24 hours in case we get sick later. Wood ticks, so no Lyme disease. Never seen it this bad. #ticks #woodticks #dogticks #tickedoff #idliketocheckyouforticks

From last week's trip to #Banff #Alberta. I'm often more drawn to the details in a scene than the scene itself. I used the #7d my friend Ray bequeathed to me. #photography #canoneos7d #canon #eos

It was time. #selfpromotingwhore #photography

I can't stand most of what passes for #photography content on #YouTube. Why can't photographers make you feel good about the gear you own now and about shooting where you are now? Too much gear and photo lifestyle porn. And do they (Tom Calton especially) ever #STFU? Yap yap yap. #blech

Hey @wilwheaton.net, I'm trying to remind people of who the OG of blogging is - would love to see you join in. ;) (You can see it working at baddaywithacamera.ca by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+Y and CTRL+SHIFT+Z.) #thomasthebear #noahforever #greymatter

The ice is finally melting and reflection shots from Lower Grey Pond that is near my home are back on the menu. #photography #dronephotography #dji #mini3 #djimini3 #sunset #reflection

One of the things I try to do when I'm out on a photo walk is find smaller details in my environment. I've got a collection of over 6,000 #texture rich images now as a result. I use them in #composite images sometimes. #photography #textures #compositing

I stood at this exact spot wearing a t-shirt Friday morning. Same spot 24 hours later. Alberta... #weather #snow #ifudontliketheweatherwait5minutes

After creating the world's ugliest photo blog I felt I should create a nicer one. This one is for my drone work only. #photoblogging #photography #drone #dronephotography #djimini3

I have created what is quite possibly the world's ugliest photo blog. Not kidding. Grotty images of grotty things taken with grotty children's cameras. Oh, and I wrote the software that powers the site, too, since we're on the subject of grottiness. #photography #photoblog #photoblogging

For #photographers who have been around and remember, we're bringing back #sofobomo or Solo Foto Book Month, with a twist. It's free, it's fun, and hopefully more accessible than the original version of the challenge was. Please share. #photography #photobook #photochallenge

Something a bit different from me as I normally only share photos here. It's Squirrel Appreciation Day and I just happen to run a hobbyist online station called Squirrel FM (www.squirrelfm.ca). It's commercial free, it's fun, and it's NSFW or your kids. Really. Check it out. #onlineradio

Two weeks ago in the cold snap with snow and then heavy fog. This was before all the snow melted in the unseasonably warm temps. #photography

Merry Christmas from Aristaeus the cat. #photography #cats #Christmas

No new pics lately as I have spent the last two weeks battling either a bad flu or covid. All I know is that I have been trying to shake that pre-corpse feeling. Here's an image I won't get again, a large apartment complex is now being built where I stood to make this photo last year. #photography

Found some early #lightpainting experiments I did back in January of 2004. I believe I shot these on #Fujichrome in my #Pentax #K1000 and scanned them with a Nikon slide scanner that has since passed from old age. #photography

Hot take on a cool morning, Looking East from Thomas Drive, Strathmore, AB, 2025-11-21 -- The town street lamps have an annoying habit of switching off just as a sunrise blooms. I just needed another 30 seconds! #photography #drone #dronephotography #sunrise #dji #djimini3

This was the first time I've ever seen a White-breasted Nuthatch in our yard (and there were two!). Always lots of Reds, but never their paler cousins. Very exciting! Hanwell, #NewBrunswick, Canada November 2025 📷 #birds #WBNU #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

This is still my favourite photo I took of my daughter, age eight. Why do they have to grow up? #photography #candid #children #socerersapprentice

Some ancient images of birds I made back in the fall of 2003 with my first dSLR, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel (300D) and my 70-300mm EF lens of the day. That camera changed everything for me. #photography #canoneos #300D #digitalrebel #birds #birding

Finally getting around to processing images from this fall. I made a new friend paddling back in September of this year (2025). Older lady in her 80s who decided to buy an RV and travel with her cat. Say hi to Victoria. #photography #kayaking #chainlakes #chainlakesprovincialpark #seniorliving

I figured I might as well poke around some more on the OM System Tough TG-7. The focus bracketing works incredibly well. I am so getting snowflake images in a month. #photography #macrophotography #photomacrography #OMSystem #TG7 #focusstacking

How big of an #idiot am I? Today I discovered that a camera I have owned for almost two years (OM System Tough TG-7) has a microscope mode. DOH. The good news is that it opens up some possibilities. #photography #macrophotography #photomacrography #OMSystem #tg7 #gormless

Got tired of waiting for #sofobomo to come back to life. The .org site has been dead since about 2012 and the replacement project at sofobomo.com has been dormant since 2018. Time for a made in Canada and made for Canadians solution. More details soon-ish. #sofobomohcanada

Leaves from my backyard and some old textures I saved mashed together. I just needed a change from the same old same old. #photography #digitalart #multipleexposure #abstractphotography

Who can afford candy this year? Not me. Hot, fresh, and cheap-to-make #funnelcakes being served from my front door this #allhallowseve. #halloween #trickortreat.

I made it as far as the front flower bed on my lunch break today. So much for the 6,000 steps I had planned. #photography #vintagelens #helios #swirlybokeh #fall #fallcolors #CanonEOSR5 #EOSR5

Saying goodbye to my father-in-law this past September. This one was really hard to write. :( #photography #blogging #photoblog #loss

Played with some old lenses today. My swirly Helios 44m-2 58mm f2.0 lens with a reversed front element and my Pentacon Electric, Red, 50mm f1.8. These were riding my Canon EOS R5 via a Neewer M42 to RF adapter. #photography #vintagelens
