On October 8th, I had been awaiting word from the small October 6th CME, due to arrive between the 8-9th. All day, I had been updating the data from Solarham, along with getting reports from some of the guys over at the Alberta Aurora Chasers group on Facebook. By 9:30 pm, it seemed that the […]

A few weeks ago, while getting myself ready for working night shift, I looked outside the window early in the morning, and the sky was filled with so many different colours of incredible oranges. I thought to myself, “Holy crap shooting the Edmonton skyline right now would be wicked!” I loaded up my gear as quickly […]

Some of you may have already seen one or two of the photos from this night that I posted on the Mike Isaak Photography page on Facebook. When checking Solarham.net earlier in the day, I noticed that the Bz was tipped sharply south. I also received a message from Curtis Reimer stating the same thing, […]

Anna, Roxy (my dog), and I went to the mountains during the September long weekend. Most of the time was spent along the Icefields Parkway, for the night we slept in the car. We got to this location late at night (below the empty mark on the gas gauge) and set up the car to […]

Back on the 23rd of August, I was out scouting locations for shooting with the full moon that was about to happen the next day. I wanted to see where it was going to rise from the east and have a good idea of what I was going to be shooting the next few days. […]

Went to the mountains again for the long weekend. The first night we camped at Preachers Point along the North Saskatchewan. Woke up for sunrise and drove to a spot along Abraham Lake and this is the shot I made from there. Single RAW capture. I’d like to go back here when, and if, the […]

Driving home I saw some mist coming up from the creek in this photo. This is an experimental shot/photo manipulation. The moon was not in the frame at all, it was about 45 degrees to the right of the direction of this shot. I did some research on how to properly insert the moon without […]

I went out scouting locations for the intention of shooting the full moon this past Sunday, along with my good friend Nick. I wanted to take shots of the full moon rising under the tree from this location. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Edmonton and we got to the field with […]
