Camera position for photographing the lunar eclipse over Kawelikoa Point, Kauai. Planning for the eclipse was done using The Photographer's Ephemeris on my iPad, with on-site confirmation using the augmented reality mode of PhotoPills. The eclipse was on the first full day of my first visit to Kauai, so I wasn't sure how it would work out, nor was I sure how to get to the location I selected. My wife and I did some advance scouting the afternoon before, but only had time to go partway. The full hike from the end of the dirt road where I parked ended up being a little over a mile, over a combination of beach and trails. I benefitted tremendously from OpenStreetMaps maps that I downloaded to my GPS app, MotionX-GPS. The maps had excellent coverage of the trails, and allowed very efficient route-finding. I recorded my track to the shooting location so I could retrace my steps back to the car in the darkness of the total eclipse. - Rock at Vermillion Lakes, dawn
Banff National Park, Alberta As I photographed this scene in the pre-dawn tranquility, a group of four drunk Brits came marching and singing down the road. I suspect they started drinking during the previous day's World Cup match. One of them, against the counsel of his friends, decided to jump into the cold mountain lake. This, according to his own report, caused considerable discomfort to his bollocks. More upsetting to me was the disturbance to the placid surface of the lake. - Canoes
