Event photography for the CBC: Canada 150!

Canada is turning 150 in 2017 and the CBC is already spearheading discussion from some of the biggest names in Canada in order to get the ball rolling. Very cool event being able to hear so many great minds speaking.

May 2, 2013

Today I set up a super massive gallery of my work at the St Boniface University gallery.

On display are two 150"x40" prints one of which I believe is the 2nd largest image ever taken of Winnipeg, (with the largest being an 8.5 gigapixel image I took just last year). I also have several 24x36" prints including a helicopter photo as well as the photo that is now being used on a Canada Post national stamp. Also there are two metal prints, very cool, as well as several 8x12" prints.

The gallery is open from May 3rd to August 31st and I will soon be sending out a gala opening night invitation.

Huge thanks to Mel from the USB for her help and coordination with this project!

Destination photography: The people and Northern Lights in Churchill, Manitoba. Extended day 1of 2

Today during the day I went out in the community and took portraits at several events around town and then had my own private tundra buggy tour! Just me and the driver!

March 15, 2013

Destination photography: Multi-day photo shoot for Frontiers North, owners of the Tundra Buggies. Day 4 of 4

Today, we went to the great Parks Canada facility which houses some great displays of a polar bear den with cubs and also boasts some great videos of subjects surrounding the area.
It was great to see Mike and Duane who I had met two years back while shooting for Parks Canada, on my first trip to Churchill.

In the afternoon, we had a good-bye lunch where ALL of the tour group members praised me for my help with their photos. This was a true honor to hear that "You should have Dan on every tour" is one of the best compliments ever!
After that I said good-bye to all my new friends as they took the afternoon flight out of Churchill and I was lucky to have two more days!

At night, possibly the most epic adventure awaited. I had suggested to John from Frontiers North, that one of the most amazing photos we could get was one with the Northern Lights and Fort Prince of Whales. Unfortunately, although only about 800m away from the tip of land that the town of Churchill is on, it was all but out of reach due to not being able to take the Tundra Buggies onto the hummock scattered ice. Thankfully, John is as adventurous as I am and we decided to take snowmobiles!

Another great adventure, my first time on a snowmobile: John having grown up on and off in Churchill had spent a great deal of time on snowmobiles, however myself, growing up in Winnipeg and BC in the summers, although accustomed to rugged living had never been on a snowmobile. Thankfully with Johns trust (but almost no instruction other than how to start it) we were off! Now, you would think that going only a couple of KM on a snowmobile wouldn't be that hard, however, in pitch black, no moon and with a temperature of -50something with the windchill it wasn't going to be easy. And it wasn't! We geared up to the max including camera gear, tripods as well as shotguns in case of bears, would it be enough? Would we even get there? After dumping my snowmobile twice and needing help getting it upright again, despite expert guidance by John, his snowmobile got stuck in a snowbank almost two stories high. It took us over 40 minutes to dig it out thanks only to perseverance and a lot of sweat! After this, we were so battered and the conditions were no longer good for photos so we headed back home without further incident.

At least we tried!

March 15, 2013

Today, as I am still out of town shooting for Frontiers North, I asked Robert L. to cover an event for St Boniface University for me. Thanks to Rob for stepping up to the plate for me while I'm out of town!

March 14, 2013

Destination photography: Multi-day photo shoot for Frontiers North, owners of the Tundra Buggies. Day 3 of 4

Today we had a more relaxed day and visited some of the local shops and attractions including the Eskimo Museum and Northern Store.

Then during the afternoon, after still being a bit sad that my potential extra days in Churchill were quashed, got some interesting news. Due to flight restrictions and moreso thanks to the kindness of Tricia from Frontiers North because she was disappointed I didn't get much time to get some shots of the auroras for myself on the first night, I was offered to stay for two extra days in Churchill!

At night, we went out in search of a different location closer to the town of Churchill to get photos from. We ended up just a few KM out of town where at first we had no sign of them but then they came out very strong! I helped several people from the group to ensure they came out of the tour with at least a few good shots of the Northern Lights, several of whom praised me highly for all the help.

March 13, 2013

Destination photography: Multi-day photo shoot for Frontiers North, owners of the Tundra Buggies. Day 2 of 4

During the day we took the tundra buggies to a historic location just across from the Port of Churchill . This is an area where boats moored in the early 1700's (some of Canada's oldest history) and where the moorings still exist.
Just around the corner from this area we went snow shoeing and despite this being my first time snow shoeing, I still managed to run around our group, capturing photos without ending up in the snow.

During the day I had a very strange coincidence occur: One of my other clients, Assiniboine Park needed photos of kids in Churchill for their new "Journey to Churchill" display. Jim, who actually wrote most of the text for these signs etc was our guide on the trip!
So, I was asked if I could stay on for another couple of days and after spending a long time on the phone with both my new wife as well as to get some of my photographer friends in WPG to cover some of the other gigs I had over the next couple of days when I was supposed to be back, I finally was able to get everything covered. However, at the last minute after all the excitement of being able to stay another couple of days, budget constraints caused the cancellation of the extra days. However, that wasn't the end of it.

At night, despite being head-faked by ice crystals in the air which look similar to the northern lights, we didn't see the aurora themselves as it was too cloudy.

March 13, 2013

As the official photographer and photography coordinator for the MTS Centre, as I am out of town, I offered the opportunity to anyone from my photo club (the Winnipeg Photo Community) to shoot Bob Seger for me and chose Dwayne to cover it for me. Thanks Dwayne!

March 12, 2013

Destination photography: Multi-day photo shoot for Frontiers North, owners of the Tundra Buggies. Day 1 of 4

I'm absolutely honored to be shooting Frontiers North's "Northern Lights and Winter Nights" tour!
Basically they hired me on just to get shots of the Northern Lights, the auroras with their vehicles and with their guests. After years of shooting aurora just for fun, I'm now getting to go to one of most people's "bucket list" locations, Churchill, to do what I love! Very cool!
However, the tour isn't just about the Northern Lights, there is also dog sledding, snow shoeing and a whole lot of fine dining!

Huge thanks to Tricia and John for the opportunity!

Today we got off the plane and immediately went to dog sledding as David Daley, dog sled leader and instructor for Wapusk Adventures was leaving to go on the Hudson Bay Quest race just hours later. We had great instruction and then I actually got to shoot while on a dog sled run.
After that we had an amazing dinner, despite the fact that the facilities in Churchill may not all be 5 stars, the food definitely was!

After a great dinner and a short time to relax, we went out on the tundra buggies in search and hope of a great evening of Northern Lights and we sure weren't disappointed. They came out in great fashion and put a spectacular display, the best display I have ever seen on them in 7 years of capturing them and what would also be the best display we saw over the 3 nights. I concentrated on getting shots of the buggies as well as a big group shot which almost killed one of my remote flashes. Sadly due to helping many of the people on the group set up their cameras and concentrating on the group and individual portraits wasn't able to get much for myself other than a couple of time-lapses. Still, an amazing view of the Northern Lights.

Winnipeg Photography Community: Today I organized an event for the WPC where I had three different members present their unique water drop photography.

Architectural/real estate and virtual reality/360 photography: HSC lottery

It's with a bit of sadness today that I photographed another lottery show home today for the HSC lottery. The sadness comes from having a 1.4 million dollar home to yourself for a few hours and then having to go home to my much smaller and less modern home. I've been working the HSC lotteries here in Winnipeg for several years now and it's always exciting to see the homes and cottages and then sad to realize that I'll have to come home to much less square footage than one of their closets. HA!

Over the past several years I've been a volunteer speaker for several clubs & organisations and today I was very pleased to be an honorary critiquer at the USB photo club's critique session. They were asked to get together some recent winter images for critiquing, the best way to improve your photography!

I had an absolute blast, partially because I had to fumble through some of the technical photography terms I didn't know in French but also because the club's members were very welcoming to my suggestions and critiques.

Possibly the biggest news that will happen for me in 2013 is the unveiling today of my photo being on a Canada Post regular circulation stamp. Not only great for me but also for Winnipeg and all the others involved from the WPG Biz!

Today Minister Steven Fletcher, Premier Greg Selinger and Stefano Grande (WPG Biz) unveiled the new stamp which is part of a collection of five new permanent stamps showing interesting places where the Canadian flag can be found. So, when you go into the post office, don't just get another stamp of the Queen (although she's great!) grab one that says something about where you're from and grab the "Canadian Pride" collection which includes my photo!

A great surprise for me is that they also used the photo on a prepaid post card. So, you can send your friends, family or relatives in other provinces or countries a piece of Winnipeg!

You can see the collection of them here: From top left - Prepaid post card, Commemorative edition (top right), permanent collection (bottom right), "bank note" collection (bottom left):

This is obviously an honour and privilege to have a national stamp with Canada Post and I want to thank Signy and Jason from the WPG Biz!
