Hello everyone. Welcome to the twenty-second installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's featured photo was taken out at the Little Qualicum Falls. Located outside of Coombs on highway 4, this water source is a tremendous location to stop and admire. The day that I got there was perfect. The winter season decided to sprinkle it's beauty over the fantastic landscape, giving a thoroughly immersive winter experience that I've personally missed while being on Vancouver Island. Now don't get me wrong, I can live without having to deal with snow for several months, but being so used to having the white, powdery stuff on the ground has been interesting for me since what I've mostly seen this season was green grass and the occasional rainfall. Regardless, I felt ecstatic to have come to this landscape and get the opportunity to capture some of the beauty that the winter season has to offer. One of the highlights out of the cold, frosty season is the sheer silence you get with the snowfall filtering the sound around you. That paired with the river flowing beside me created a workspace that I could have spent all day immersed in. I took the time to capture the waterfall that's nearby, took a walk down alongside the river, and eventually got back to my car, and continued my journey towards my travel adventure. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the twenty-first installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's featured photo was taken out in on the beautiful coastline of the West side of the island, more specifically out in the Pacific Rim National Park. I've visited this park almost a dozen times now, and everytime that I explore this wondrous piece of paradise, I always leave with a big smile on my face and a completely refreshed headspace. The stunning rainforests that follow alongside the coastal lines of the area are breathtaking. The trees are immense, the growth is thick, and the colors are vibrant and full of life. One of my favorite places to go is Schooner Cove. You get to walk through the dense forest on a boardwalk, immersed by the energy of the landscape. As you get closer to the shoreline, you start hearing the ocean hitting the beach. Then a new scent hits your nose, and your eyes open up to the vast view of the Pacific ocean. I get chills just thinking about that reaction I get when I get to see the water. The soft sandy beaches span as far as the eyes can see, and for all the times that I've been fortunate to experience the west coast, the weather has always been fair to me, especially for the sunset that I got to capture in this photo. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the twentieth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out in Sooke while I was heading out to explore some of the beautiful coastal views the area has to offer. I was filming boats in the water for my travel vlog when I noticed the wooden landscape behind me and just how beautiful it was. It was in the summertime, so the colors were vibrant and full of life. I ended up admiring a composition that was behind the camera. When I was done filming the shot, I turned the camera around and took the photo that ended making it on the internet. I find myself at times where an opportunity presents itself with little to no warning. I had an agenda for the day, and nowhere throughout my plans did I have the intentions of taking photographs of the dense forests that lay alongside the south-west side of the island. Now I never eliminate the idea of straying away from my initial task, because in the case like this moment and many moments throughout life, opportunities come and go, it's what you make of it that creates an outcome. The effects can be small, or monumental for the course of your future. Always stay receptive to opportunities, you never know when they can appear.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the nineteenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out in Sooke in the summertime season. The smell of the ocean has always been a pleasure of mine ever since I was a young boy. The weather was gorgeous there was no wind, no rain, the sun was slowly setting down behind the horizon, and I was left with a small beach to myself. I had spent the day taking photography throughout the south-western regions of the island, so the relaxing atmosphere became a great tone to end my day. My mind slowed down and connected to all that was present in my proximity. I listened to the water softly roll over the shore. The birds would occasionally pass by, chirping and talking to other birds within the area. The soft sand felt great under my feet as I walked towards a tree that was laying down on the rocks. I sat down on the tree trunk and processed the view that spaned in front of me. The mountains across the water were gorgeous with the soft sunset lighting laying over them. Moments like this are precious to me. I make an effort to engage with the present as much as possible. The likelihood of experiencing this exact moment is questionable. Anything can happen to me at any given point. That's a reality that took a good deal of time to comprehend. Our time on this plane of existence is rather short, but there are instances we forget that fact for various reasons associated with our busy lives. Embrace moments as they come, enjoy the experiences that go with them,

and try your best to acknowledge that time is fleeting, and so does the light of consciousness that's embedded within us. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the eighteenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out late in the fall season at Englishman River Falls. I visited the area early in the middle of the summer, and my last recollection of the beautiful landscape was a lovely waterfall that had a soothing soundtrack alongside the visual pleasures of the rich forest that surrounds it. Fast forward to November, and the same scenery changed dramatically. The gentle waterfall I recalled became an immense powerhouse of a water source surging down into the river below. I was taken back by how much volume of water was falling within a location that initially was a completely different entity altogether just a few months ago. It's one of the many faces of nature that we're privileged to witness. As the season's change so does the energy within spaces we explore. The vibrancy of the spring and summer season disappears as the fall and winter weather takes its course. The dynamics we experience throughout the year are remarkable. We get to watch various forms of life change and adapt to the climate as it progresses from one pattern to the next. The example of one of the pleasures I get from doing landscape photography is having the ability to visit a location more than once but see a different pallet of nature to capture. The versatility and eternal progression nature produces provides another incentive among many for my creative journey to continue. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my seventeenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out on a moonlit night in Cowichan Bay. I was in the midst of contemplating how I wanted to end my day of photography when I saw the moon rising from the horizon. Instantly I knew I had to take the time to capture this beautiful natural event. I found the nearest beach I could get onto, and without planning out the composition, I started shooting long exposure shots towards the moon. I love how the image turned out. You have the moon shining over the calm water, while you see boats with their lights on in the distance. It turned out to be a different style of photograph compared to what I usually go for. I know I could have gone for a more natural look for the landscape, get away from all the artificial lighting and let the night ambiance become the focal point of the image. I took the initiative to make time of what was left of my day and tried my best, and that left me with a sense of fulfillment to the end a great day. Give everything towards what you want to thrive for, let the experience become a part of the story your establishing, and leave behind the legacy that belongs to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and i hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my sixteenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out by Nanaimo Lakes. As I was exploring this new area, I couldn't help but enjoy the view of the river that goes from one lake to another. The day had overcast, and there was no wind which made the water calm. One of the first things I noticed from the image was the reflection of the trees on each side of the river and the beautiful lines they were creating. The sound of the streaming river was soft and overall gave off a peaceful atmosphere to work in. As I gazed at the landscape that surrounded me, I couldn't help but think of who else took the time and looked at this natural feature before me. The different walks of life that have passed by or potentially lived and died here. It's incredible to think that many areas we would think wouldn't retain any inherent value when in fact could have a vast history we just don't know about. I also think about the possible lessons that could be taken away from the individuals that wandered throughout these vast lands. What could they teach us? What value could they provide the future generations? As I packed up my gear, I took one last look at the area and continued on my journey while capturing a memory for other explorers to experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my fifteenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out by the river that passes underneath the Kinsol Trestle, located in the North Cowichan area. The setting was exceptional, it was one of the first snowfalls that I got to witness on the island, and the temperature was comfortable. I wanted to get winter shots of the area since the only time I experienced this location was in the summer. The running river had a great tone, soothing to listen too. I got out my camera and played around with different compositions of a massive tree trunk laying maybe ten to twelve feet above the water. I got down to the ground, I stood on top of a nearby boulder, I played with shallow and deep depts of field, anything to get an idea of what I wanted to create. Taking the time to experiment like this is what I love doing when it comes to the creative process. When you have a vision you want to create, dedicating focus and imagination within the fold of your perception at that given is a blast and vital to gaining the results you want to achieve. There are times where nothing works, and it seems the whole experience is a complete waste of time. Days like that are inevitable, but even in the worst circumstance, there's always at least something to take away. You can gain a lesson from the situation, or see a different view from the original idea you first came in with, or just get a taste of an inquiry you were curious to figure out. All this can help guide you to having a better opportunity the next time around, and provide the skill sets necessary to continue your personal journey.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my fourteenth installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out by Morton Lake, outside of Campbell River. I was ending my day watching the sun setting slowly over the calm water that reflected the surrounding landscape. The summer weather created a comfortable and warm environment to enjoy the beautiful natural feature that sat in front of me. Seeing the mountains from a distance rippling over the water reminded me of taking time to reflect on myself and where I'm at in my current state of life. It doesn't take a whole lot to lose track of yourself when you get caught up in the midst of working towards an objective you want to reach. Moments like sitting next to the water gives me the ability to slow down and establish the time to assess and make sense of what I've accomplished so far. It's a healthy practice to embed in your ongoing journey towards your goals. As the sun disappeared over the horizon, I felt refreshed and ready to continue my progress I've accumulated throughout my creative journey. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my thirteen installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo was taken out outside of Ladysmith at Stocking Creek Waterfall. The day started off with little drizzles of rain that would come and go, giving me a chance to have a break away from the wet weather. I'd seen great pictures of this area, and by the time I arrived at the river that leads to the waterfall, I wasn't disappointed. The overcast weather gave off soft lighting over the landscape. As much as I enjoy the sun and the bright blue sky, there's nothing like a grey day over a brightly colored piece of nature. As I was taking long exposure shots of the smaller waterfall, I admired the creation the running water had molded through time. It reminded me that there are things in life that require time and perseverance with consistent work to gain results. When you take shortcuts, there's a strong possibility you'll attain very little in return, you get in return relative to the amount of effort you dedicated to the practice. Make the conscious choice of doing what's necessary for your journey to flourish, even if it means taking a moment in your life and focusing on minuscule tasks that seem redundant at the present moment. Those little steps become a part of the momentum that'll propel you towards where you're standing now to the objective you want to reach. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
