Jon Handforth Photography

Bow Fiddle Rock in moody evening light about a month ago in Portknockie, Scotland. I'm still working through photos from Scotland (and Spain). I'm pretty happy with this one.

Portree, Isle of Skye ... calm before a storm

Street scene … Barcelona

The Poetry of Whales ... Humpbacks gather for their annual migration from northern BC to Hawaii. It's beyond human knowledge how they can do that. We share this chunk of rock in space with millions of fantastic life forms ... let's look after it.

One of my objectives as a photographer this year is to print more of my work. It was wonderful to see the joy and surprise as this big metal print was unpacked when I delivered it to a new home this morning. Generally I work in B+W, but I have nothing against colour, and more are available.

About this photo ... The March 24, 2023 Aurora over Mount Rundle/Sulpher Mountain and reflected in Vermilion Lake, Banff.

Many, many thanks this morning to the Foothills Camera Club, in Calgary, for hosting my first in-person talk since March 2020. My Nature of Black & White talk celebrates the beauty of Planet Earth with a photographic exploration of wild, glaciated landscapes & seascapes in Iceland and Greenland, the majesty of the Canadian Rockies, and rare Spirit bears, grizzlies & whales in B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest.

A big thank you this morning to the Camera 35 photography club, in St. John's Newfoundland, for hosting me last night. In my Nature of Black & White talk we first explored the wild, glaciated landscapes and seascapes of Iceland, Greenland and the Canadian Rockies, then discussed rare Spirit bears, grizzlies & whales in B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest and finished with a look at Africa's wild kingdom.

Many thanks to British Columbia's Victoria Camera Club for hosting my talk last night. In the Nature of Black & White we explored how melting glaciers formed the wild landscapes and seascapes of Iceland & Greenland, along with some of my favourite places in the Canadian Rockies and finished with bears and whales in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Dock side ... Lake O'Hara, Yoho National Park, Canada.

I’m honoured and excited that the Toronto Camera Club has invited me as the next speaker in their lecture series. If you can join me, the event starts at 7:30 pm EDT. The link is in the comments below.

My mind's eye ... a rare reflective moment on the shore of Bow Lake, Alberta, as winter fades away.
