Coast in Focus

One of the best parts of my new job at Tourism Powell River is gaining more & more knowledge of photography. Darren, my boss, is an extremely talented landscape photographer.

A few weeks ago, Darren & Kelly Funk (another extremely talented landscape photographer whose imagery is found on the covers of many of the regional guides in BC) lead 'Coast in Focus'; a photography workshop right here in Powell River.

While I love my camera, Stacy (Darren's wife) lent me her's so I was able to fiddle with appature, shutter speeds and the odd lense filter or two. At first it was overwhelming, but with D & K's help I was quickly taking photos which captured the most detailed rain drop and most dramatic flow of rushing rivers through the rainforest.

Enjoy the images!
