Chasing the Milky Way in Canada

This is a story about the most adventurous trip of my life.
It was a breathtaking journey through the heart of Canadian Rockies, where I embarked on a soul-stirring adventure to explore the magnificent nature.
My ultimate goal? To capture the mesmerizing night sky in some of the Canada's most iconic locations.This film is a heartfelt attempt to document my cherished memories, preserving the beauty and wonders I encountered along the way. I hope it can inspire you to go on your own journeys, to seek out those beautiful moments, and to discover this magical connection between our world and the stars above.

So join me on a visual odyssey as I tell the stories from Joffre Lakes, Revelstoke, Golden, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Banff, Peyto Lake, Bow Lake, Lake Louise, Three Sisters, Vermillion Lake and Two Jacks Lake under the Milky Way.

Or contact me if you'd like to purchase my photos!

Virkelig fantastisk video. Jeg boede selv i Vancouver i 1975, hvor jeg arbejdede for Sony of Canada. Jeg har altid fotograferet meget og har stadig billeder fra nogle af stederne i videoen.

Truly inspiring! I am going to the Canadian Rockies in September and we are planning on doing some Milkyway photography. We aren’t as advanced as you and we are scared of bears so I hope it all turns out well. We need to research that star tracker you have. Thanks for making the video. It was stellar!

jeg kunne ikke skrive i aftes, men det kan jeg nu.
Det er en fantastisk film med så smukke billeder af Mælkevejen og der helt vidunderlige og storslåede, canadiske landskab. Det er utroligt, at der i vor Verden er så smukke steder. Bjørnebillederne og filmen er rørende, dine kompositioner sidder lige i øjet. Jeg har set filmen i aftes, og den far ikke til at komme fra.
