Note that in Canada intentionally approaching marine mammals, including sea lions, with a drone or other aircraft can lead to fines.
In this case I wasn't aware of the sealions but they ended up in the shot. Later when I noticed them I stopped moving toward them

Countless seagulls and a pair of sea lions photobombed my shoot this evening on the Wild Pacific Trail. I don't mind but I hope they aren't expecting to get paid scale.

From a sunset at Oyster Jim's Bench in The Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet this evening. The sunset, a friend who was also checking it out and a little framed window on the sea from the walk there. #Ucluelet #Ukee #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Earlier today, while shooting for a real estate client, I happened across this perfectly framed moment with a group of kayakers. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

Whenever I'm flying around the neighbourhood I like to take a Ucluelet boat basin "class photo"

It's always a little better with the Water Dragon's wing are visible in the top-right but here it is, anyway

Luxury sailing yacht “Venturosa” is moored in the Ucluelet harbour right now.

While a common sight around Vancouver, Victoria and the east side of the island we don’t get a lot of this sort of thing around here.

I don't usually shoot in portrait/ vertical, especially landscapes or nature but sometimes that's just how the symmetry works. I couple views from the Little Beach/ Terrace Point area in Ucluelet last night... with a bonus not-particularly-good eagle photo. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

Some of the locals I've been hanging out with while house-sitting near Little Beach in Ucluelet. Including our host Monty the dog, as well as a great blue heron and a seal. #Ucluelet #Ukee #Tofino #VancouverIsland

One of my photography credos goes something like this; “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but maybe try it again in different light”

So, once again; waves explode against the rocks at Amphitrite Lighthouse in Ucluelet. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Here's a longer video of orcas in the harbour a few years ago; youtu.be/VVt2ji9GRww?...

This afternoon a small pod of Orca swam through the Ucluelet harbour then past the lighthouse. I missed them in the harbour but caught a few clips from the Wild Pacific Trail before they disappeared #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #killerwhales #PNW

We’re dog sitting for a few days which means morning walks. Here’s a little stop at Little Beach in Ucluelet, Vancouver Island for you #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

Today a friend was dropping someone off to a remote location in Clayoquot Sound and there we room on the boat so he invited me to tag along. On the way home it was just us so we were able to explore a bit.

A little Ucluelet ASMR with my friend the Amphitrite Lighthouse. The foghorn used to be steam powered. Nearby there are still concrete walls from collecting pools where rainwater was stored for the whistle. #Ucluelet #VancouverIsland #Tofino

Poked my drone through a hole in the fog this evening to enjoy a private sunset. It seemed rude not to share. #ucluelet #tofino #vancouverisland #sunset #DJIMini3Pro

Even on the foggiest days there's a beautiful sunset if you can get to the right place. A hole in this evening's fog in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island let me squeeze the drone through and capture a few photons up there.

From this week's storm on Vancouver Island. I always love it when a birds, or flock of birds volunteers to provide scale. Shot in Ucluelet, on the Wild Pacific Trail

A few more highlights from this week's storm around Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. I'm working on a long, wide-screen, 4K video what will include the high quality version of all the footage from this week. Stay tuned #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #Stormwatching

More wave action near the Amphitrite Lighthouse in Ucluelet from earlier this week. I'm working on a long, widescreen edit or 2 of the footage from this stormy week but I didn't get it done before realizing it's time to grab my guitar and head to a gig. Hopefully be able to finish and share it soon

A few stills from this morning at Big Beach. Ucluelet's "Mystery Shipwreck" against the first storm of the season. After being lit on fire this summer the shipwreck seems a lot angrier in photos... I guess I would, too #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW #Stormwatching

Storm images on this page are shot with telephoto lenses or drone. Don’t venture out onto the rocks. I have many friends among our local first responders, I don’t need them risking their lives for your selfie.

Today near Amphitrite Lighthouse
