A chilly day on Whistler Mountain

Sarah Bourne — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:37:48 +0000

We’ve had a run of arctic air in Whistler recently. These photos were taken last weekend at -15 C. During the week the temperature dropped to -23 C!!! At that temperature even the moisture in the air freezes as you can see by the sparkly photos:

Corporate Headshots

Sarah Bourne — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 23:16:43 +0000

With increased web presence professionals need good looking head-shots for the myriad of social media sites that they need to be on. I have a mobile studio lighting kit so that I can take the shot at your location. I have black or white backgrounds:

Cinnamon Bear

I guess the berries are ripe at my house right now as the bears are here every day. Today I got some photos of this large black bear. Although she is cinnamon in colour (with a great blonde ‘mane’), she is still considered a black bear. We don’t tend to get brown, or grizzly, bears in Whistler.

Again, such a special treat to be this close to wildlife.

Black Bear in my Garden

Just as I sat to eat my lunch in the garden I heard crunching and crashing in the bushes – a sure sign of a local bear. So I grabbed my camera from the house and came back out. This little black bear (probably on his own for the first time this summer) walked around the garden for the next half hour or so, munching on the berries. At one point he started walking straight towards me and was less than 10 feet away: time to retreat into the house! I took a photo of him through the window and screen as he sniffed at my laundry drying on the patio.

What an experience! It doesn’t matter how many time I’ve seen bears I’m still in awe of them, and amazed at just how close to them we are, living here in Whistler.

Swiss Chalet Shoot

While waiting for snow to enable me to shoot the exterior and view shots of this lovely chalet in Nendaz, Switzerland, I have been able to shoot the bedrooms and bathrooms. Using special techniques it is possible to show both the interior and mountain views balanced correctly:

Toko Hotel

Here in Nendaz, Switzerland, there are many large apartment / hotel blocks but Toko Chalet, Hotel and Restaurant offers a little extra. Sitting just outside of the main village (but still close to the lifts and shops) it sits above the valley and offers stunning views over the mountains. Amongst other things, the restaurant offers the only Indian cuisine in Nendaz!

I was asked to take some photos of it for the owners, Treena and Meredith.

Bald Eagles in Squamish

It’s a little early in the year, but already the bald eagles are heading to Squamish (Brackendale, actually) to eat salmon as they head up river. Amazing to watch, although it was almost too cold to take the camera out!

My 365 Project is complete and all the photos are printed in one big poster – 2′ x 8′. The photos are on display at Moguls in Whistler from Nov 1st – 30th if anyone is interested to go and see.

Now I need a new project!
