Whyte Islet Canvas Print

Vancouver was somewhat reminiscent of Los Angeles today, with a quite heavy haze that promised a good sunset. As it was high tide, I figured a second trip over to Whytecliff Park might result in some interesting shots of the rocky path to Whyte Islet, which is partially submerged when the water level is high.

I tried some very long exposures with my 10-stop filter, but in the end this shot seemed the most promising, taken with a 3-stop graduated ND filter and circular polariser. The shutter speed wasn't long enough to turn the water into mist, but was enough to convey the movement of the waves.

Born in the UK, I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2011. My career in photography has grown from a long-held passion for capturing the beauty of the world, aided on the technical side by my background as a software developer. I specialise in fine art photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes in and around the Pacific Northwest, with work exhibited internationally. Many of my photographs feature the beautiful city of Vancouver, but as well as capturing its iconic cityscapes, I can often be found exploring the BC and Washington coastline for new photographic opportunities, as well as developing my portfolio of night sky photographs featuring the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis.
