The North Shore Mountains are pretty much paradise in Metro Vancouver. I shot this last winter during an incredible fog snap. Surprisingly this particular location doesn't normally get a ton of fog, even compared to forests that are only a short distance to the east, so it was quite exciting to have a full day of it!

Question about your tutorials from your website, if it's ok to ask here...are they for professional cameras or do you have any tutorials for amateurs with iPhones? Also, I love your pictures, reminds me of my home just south in Washington state, and now living far away, it's so nice to see your pictures!

Find any chantrelles? I looked and looked. Probably too dry last summer.

No one from the PNW, that's for sure. Redwood forests have a very different look to say nothing of the fact that the trees themselves are much bigger. Consider that the last of the great redwood groves are at least 600 miles to the south of BC.

Interestingly, if you said it was Vancouver Washington, no one would question you at all.

Thank you! Hoping to release a new batch of photos in the next week or so!
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixt9qk8 wrote
Device doesn't matter, at least if you are shooting in raw format. However they are oriented to post-processing with Photoshop and do require some prior Photoshop knowledge. I may do a more beginner oriented course someday. If you have any other questions just shoot me a DM on here!

Nothing on the island at all. I think last year's summer + the dry October was a death sentence.

Ontario is still beautiful though. There are some places I'd love to photograph over there.

That's amazing, I had no idea! Was that at the touristy suspension bridge or the park area? I still have yet to do the suspension bridge there.

Man, this shit would be dummy hard to traverse in a survival scenario though. Or like busy firefighters who trek through untouched earth to set up camps and helicopter pads and what not. Tough shit

For what it's worth the photographer mentioned this photo is from last winter but as a local it's also still pretty darn green in the pnw. For now at least.

Okay I live in Australia and adore this subreddit A. Because I see environments, biomes, climates I simply can't in my home country and B. As a fan of dnd it's amazing to get photos like this to provide a reference to my players

Alberta is neat driving from the mountains through the highlands and into the prairies. I like living here. I go in any direction and there's a different terrain.

I grew up adjacent to the Capilano canyon. Honestly there are game trails everywhere

That’s what was the most surprising about the forest, the smells. so refreshing and pure.

The suspension bridge is fun and you get an “I did it” certificate. Pretty good opportunity for a photo session there. The cliff walk is surreal

KremlingForce t1_ixv8k0h wrote
The episode which takes place in the Redwood forests of Florida is called “Detour”. It’s about hyper-evolved feral chameleon people living in the woods. The location scouting is hilarious, but that episode remains a stone-cold classic.

Nope, scraggly jack is definitely a nice sight, especially those open stands. I think I still prefer the symmetry of lodgepole pine in the west
TheKingOfRooks t1_ixvdq2f wrote
I thought this said "Froggy day" and was very disappointed to zoom in and find every leaf wasn't an individual frog lol
Beautiful though, so relaxing
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvhlus wrote
It definitely varies a lot from area to area. I've done off trail hiking through old growth forests and it's a hell of a lot easier than bushwhacking through second growth, typically. Second growth can be nightmarishly messy and if it's in mountainous terrain the route finding can be tricky. Sometimes you can also get lucky and find a game trail that goes roughly where you want to go.
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvhokh wrote
Of course!
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvhvuc wrote
Although I enjoy eating tasty mushrooms, I'm not a forager and I leave everything alone. I think I've only spotted chanterelles once in the last few years but that's without looking for them.
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvi288 wrote
This forest is second growth, although it contains a decent amount of old growth Douglas firs (albeit on the younger side of what is considered old growth).
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvi6qo wrote
I am sorry to disappoint lol. I have came across numerous toads in my walks through this forest and the canyon that runs through it though! They are normally very good at staying hidden, but part of what I enjoy so much out there is slowing down and observing as much as possible.
TritonTheDark OP t1_ixvj58m wrote
I would go as far to say that the island has forests that are even more beautiful.
Although it has a lot of ugly ones... the logging is out of control over there.

Oh yeah definitely, my initial sentence was just a joke, at least the "disappointed" part haha. Such a beautiful picture, seems like the ideal forest to walk through.

It does have some beautiful spots but nothing compared to the mountains imo.

Not OP but depends where you are going in Ontario. Its a massive province. Northern Ontario i find has more beauty than Southern Ontario.

Bruce peninsula I’ve heard is beautiful. Sleeping giant national park. The TO skyline from the islands, Niagara.

That's awesome, hoping to move out there in the next few years if everything works out.

The rainforest’s of western Tasmania would be rather similar I’d imagine. As would much of western South Island NZ.
Rahtgooves t1_ixwe8p5 wrote
Last winter was amazing. I live in Mission and the trails with all of the moss on the forest floor and the fog was incredible. I didn't make it very far into the forest because I just kept standing there and looking around in awe every 5 minutes. Great photo!

I’ll check tomorrow. Allready had that firm freeze so I doubt it. Meh. Have fun. Your view is the same as mine. Do a 50 shades of green series. I started. Got distracted. Ha.
