Tonight's lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs w $Tonight's lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon moves into the earth's shadow. This can occur only when the sun, earth and moon are almost exactly aligned with earth between the other two. The reddish color of a totally eclipsed Moon is caused by Earth completely blocking direct sunlight from reaching the Moon, with the only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of blue light. Taken with Nikon Z 9 with 800mm 6.3 S on a tripod. 1/10 F6.3 8000ISO #lunareclipse #moon #fullmoon #maylunareclipse #lunareclipse2022$

I am super proud to be a Canadian Team top 10 fina $I am super proud to be a Canadian Team top 10 finalist (and Best in Nation) in the 2022 World Photographic Cup with my image of "Boss". In Rome tonight, the medalists will be announced and I am thrilled to be here in person with my hubby and a group of other Canadians photographers including @kristianbogner @deborahlmacewen The Story about Boss: In 2019 in the Great Bear Rainforest, one early morning, I was crouched low at the river’s edge, my knees were on the rocks in the water. Boss was fishing for salmon about 100 feet from us. Then he began to walk in our direction. My heart was pounding. He stopped directly in front of me. I was eye to eye with him. He was busy eating and wasn't bothered with our presence. Boss lowered his head into the river and, without realizing it, I too instinctively ducked my head a fraction. I was watching the elusive Spirit Bear through my viewfinder, holding my breath and trying to remember to exhale. He pulled his head up and shook, droplets spiralling in a concentric windmill around his head. He looked at me for an instant, and plunged his head into the water again, searching for salmon roe on the bottom of the river. I felt a catch in my throat. The photographer in me knew intuitively that it would be a memorable photo. The human in me felt that, in that moment, I was part of Boss’ life, as he was part of mine. We were deeply connected in a way that is hard to describe. I am super proud of this image and no matter the results tonight, I am honoured to represent Canada in the @worldphotographiccup With special thanks to @oceanlightadventures for this opportunity! I can't wait to travel with you again in a month. Thank you to everyone who follows me for your support! I am grateful! Truly Grateful. #canada #worldphotographhiccup #bear #spiritbear #boss #greatbearrainforest #canadianwildlife #nikonnofilter #zcreators #nikonambassador #canadiangeographic$
