Welcome!

Hi! My name is Dave. I am an avid photographer and traveler. I was born, raised and have lived my whole life in British Columbia, Canada. My wife and I have been fortunate to have travelled throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe. At any point, we are planning our next trip to somewhere. I currently live on Vancouver Island which a considered one of the most beautiful places in the world and attracts thousands of visitors each year from other parts of Canada and everywhere else…and everyone brings a camera! These range from smart phone cameras to very sophisticated digital cameras with expensive lenses. I see many of these visitors struggling to get the scene that they see to be reflected in the photos that they take home, often with disappointing results.

As a photographer, I enjoy bringing home photos that serve as records of our travels and that people actually want to look at. It has taken years to develop the skills (and tricks) needed to be able to take those pictures and I am always learning new things relating to travel photography. The purpose of this site is to share these with you. I will cover a wide variety of things you can do to improve your travel photos so that you too can record your adventures photographically.

Travel is a major investment in time, money and energy. It only makes sense to be able to bring home photos that serve as the real souvenir of your investment.
