Links
This list is a compilation of some of the sites I have found useful over the years. Some of the resources I have used for either inspiration on some of my projects or I have frequented them to learn new techniques in the field and on post processing. This by no means is not a comprehensive list, but more a dynamic selection as I am continually scouring the Internet to perfect my craft.
Aurora Watch
My primary tool for tracking the night sky in Alberta for aurora activity.
Google Maps
My number one tool for plotting trips and ideas. I also use Google Maps to save locations for future photo ideas that I can come back to at a later date when the lighting or conditions are optimal.
Kuva Print and Frame
This is the only place I go for professional printing services. Kevin is a wealth of knowledge and stands behind his products like no other.
Paul Zizka
Banff's most well-known photographer and fro great reason. Paul is known for his creative night photography in the Rockies.
