Is this real? It must be photoshoped 🤷🏻‍♂️... People asked... Never would I ever imagine that I could win photo awards 🥇 from this selfie! Yet, This photo not only received gold award but also got exhibited in San Francisco. I'll share with you more insights about award winning photos on my next post 🤙🏼 But here's a funny background story about doing head stands As someone who used to do breakdancing, I love to mess around taking photos of freezes. I worked hard to do head spin but never master it. After a couple of years practicing, I realised that I had pointy head. Well maybe I was never good enough, but it’s a good excuse 😂 Let me know which pose are you going to do on your next selfie? 💪🏼🤩

Have you taken photo of the Milkyway core? 👨🏻‍🚀 Keep reading and I’ll share what you need to do to capture one of this. This shot was taken from Indonesia when I was doing island hoping in Flores Archipelago (you can see the boat by the shore). We had to start hiking at 3 am, at that time this was one big hike. Of course if I was to compare it to the hikes here in Canadian Rockies. I remembered the feeling that I got when I first clicked the button…. And see the core behind the camera. That was it… I never stopped since then. So how can you capture the Milkyway Core, I’ve shared the settings and how to focus on the previous post (shoot me a DM if you can’t find it) but knowing the settings itself is not enough. 1. Sounds trivial, but weather! To see the sky you’ll need a clear sky. My favourite app for this is called Clear Outside.
2. You need to know when the core will be visible above the horizon…. when it’s dark. You can use apps like Photopills and find out at what time it will be visible above the horizon. Make sure that it’s not during full moon or blue hours. Now before I share the last tips. If you find this helpful, would be much appreciate to help me back by sharing, saving this post or simply let me know below how this helps you. So… Last but not least… 3. You need to find a dark enough sky! Two that I like to use is https://www.darksitefinder.com/ Or https://maps.darksky.net/ Who’s ready to shoot the Milkyway Core now? By the way I’m just putting together a course for landscape astrophotography, if you want to be notified when this is out, feel free to shoot me a DM

As per popular demand another black and white. 👇🏼On how to create photos like this. This was the day the I kicked myself because I wasn't patience enough to wait for the sunset. As I drove back home I look back at the sky and it was fired up. Nevertheless I was happy to capture this frame. Want to capture photos like this? Here's some tips:
1. Make sure the main subject got a lot more light compared to the background. This way you can underexpose the photo while keeping the main subject popped.
2. In post use local adjustment tool to locally process a certain part of the image. You could also use masking - luminosity to effect area based on its brightness.
3. To create matted feel to the image lift the highlights part of the curve - check slides number 5 Save this post as a reference for your next black and white photoshoot. Shot on Canon 5D mk iv with 24-70 mm f2.8L ii #whererockies #tourcanada #canadaworld #crowfootmedia #blackandwhitephotography

#worldwildlifeday part 2 with some insight tips 😉 I feep like I have to share wildlife encounters that I had in Canada. So here is to part 2! I also promised to give some insights and tips, feel free to share and save this post for future reference as the days are getting warmer! 1. Shoot on shutter priority mode
2. For slower activities I set my shutter speed at 1/1000 and for birds or fast moving wildlife 1/2000 as a benchmark. From there you can see and adjust whether you can slow it down or need to increase the speed.
3. I usually like to set iso on auto especially during everchanging condition (if there's harsh shades/shadow, if thr sun coming in and out durong cloudy days, etc
4. Set your focus to spot area focus.
5. Set your focus to AI SERVO or also called tracking/continuous and try to focus on their eyes. Remember wicked hunters that I used 400 mm zoom lens and have cropped this photos to make it look close up. Please.. Please.. Please.. Respect their space especially when it comes to bears. I believe the min recommended distance is 100 m from a bear. Don't forget to let me know if it's helpful so that I know what sort of content I should plan in the future to better serve you. Happy World Wildlife day and don't forget to protect these beautiful creatures 😃 #bears #happywildlifeday #happywildlifeday2021 #canada #wildlifephotography #wildlifeconservation #savetheenvironment #saveourplanet🌍

Have you been to the "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱"😱 Apprently 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 located in Tassie, Australia. I almost dropped my camera and tripod onto the sea, keep reading if you want to be able to find out what I've learned to avoid this from happening. Hahaha! Yeah no kidding, this place was called 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, it sure felt like it! I remembered on the edge of the water.. The rocks were sliperry, the waves blowing onto me and wind was so strong that I was struggling to stand. I've dropped my camera right on the rocks before and here's what you can do to avoid this: 1. Set your tripod so that one of the legs is parallel to the wind.
2. Make that legs a bit longer so that the camera is slightly "leaning backward" to overcome the force of the wind
3. Keep your camera strap on your neck while setting up your tripod and make sure it's stable before you take it off your neck.
4. If the wind still to strong widen up the legs of the tripods and making it closer to the ground would work like a charm.

Light pillars will do 😃 One wicked phenomenon you get to see on deep freeze are light pillars 😍 What cause the light pillars? 🤔 It's crazy when you first see it in the highway, as a car approaching there's this sword of lights standing right in front of them. Honestly felt like an extraterrestrial activity! Light pillars happen as lights defracted through small particle of ice in the air. For that to happen, it need to be extremely cold. On this night it was -30 deg C, braced the cold to get this iconic shot from Vermillion lake.

Happy Australia Day! I want to share with you som $Happy Australia Day! I want to share with you some of the untouched places around Australia, not the Sydney, Melbourne, The Great Ocean Road, but the secluded part of Australia that many haven’t got a chance in Australia. Let me know if you have been to any of these spot before or even if you have heard of it. Don’t forget to save this post for your next travel inspiration. I had been so lucky to be able to drive around the continent of Australia. During this trip I tried to avoid cities. There was a time where we went from town to town by driving on the beach and then through a lagoon. Or the time when I drove to the northern most part of Australia through bonnet deep of water. The adventures was endless, the continuous problems solving, deflating tires, inflating it back on, making sure we have enough petrol through the outback and often pitching a tent in pitch dark. Here are a fraction of the photos that I managed to document during my trip around Australia. 1. Mitchell Falls, Western Australia 2. Bioluminescent, spotted in Tasmania 3. Piccaninny Gorge, The Bungle bungle national park 4. Fraser Island, Queensland 5. Chilli Beach Cape York 6. Cape York, Northern most part of Australia 7. Ivanhoe Crossing Kununura 8. Derby, Western Australia 9. Western Australia Coast 10. Cape Peron, Western Australia All shot om @canonaustralia 5D mk iv with Canon 16-35 mm f2.8L ii and Canon 24-70 mm f2.8L ii$

Dont forget The Wicked Hunt Photography Mastery Fo $Dont forget The Wicked Hunt Photography Mastery Founding Members Launch is in 2 days! For so long I thought having a good camera was the way to get good photograph. It was my excuse for the longest time. I eventually upgrade from using my iPhone 5s, to Pocket Camera Canon G12, to Olympus mirrorless camera, to professional grade Canon 5D mk iii. Sure camera does helps but it’s only fraction of the equation. There are many more factor that contribute to beautiful photograph. I was wondering what am I missing and what is the secret? Why do you take photos? * Is it to capture precious moments during important occasion like birthdays and reunions? * Is it to preserve these sentimental memories so that one day we can look back and relive these days? * Is it to capture beautiful landscapes and experiences from our travels? * Or as a self fulfilment to be able to achieve and inspire others with the stories behind your photograph? Whatever your reason is, would you agree that there are no substitutes for beautiful photograph. If you're gonna take it anyway, why not makenit worthwhile? #TheWickedHunt #TheWickedHuntPhotography #lustofly #photolesson #photoclass #landscapephotography #photolovers #australiaphotography #canadaphotography #canoncollective #photography #photographersofinstagram #localphotography #banffphotographer #takebetterphotos #photos #lonelyplanet #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravelpic #iphonesia #iphonegraphy #iphoneonly #amazingtravelbeauty #bestdestination #besttraveldestination #travelgram #travelphotography$
