I took my photos and film, and without a question in my mind, I was very happy with how they turned out. The cows helped separate the owl from the background, and although I could not see what the owl was doing, the film turned out amazing… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/0aa45ec8-0183-489c-ad4b-eb3962c23c59/1B6A2346.JPG Blog - Finding a snowy owl - Make it stand out Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Canon RF200-800mm, 6.625, 1/800, f/10 https://www.willjt1994.com/home daily 1.0 2026-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/f39ea697-c2af-42f5-873f-a7acf592fb8a/1B6A2724.JPG Home - The Canadian Rockies project is for me to look at contrasts between some amazing natural and human landmarks in grayscale By William Taylor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/2f205f80-9dfc-46f8-85c6-fb65ed59d0ee/1B6A0590.JPG Home - Birds of Alberta, one person's quest to document every bird in Alberta This is a project in documenting the large and wonderful collection of birds Alberta has to offer By William Taylor https://www.willjt1994.com/about daily 0.75 2026-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/c5073e70-832e-49e8-b975-e736c6ee64bf/IMG_6661.jpeg https://www.willjt1994.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/7f5348a4-f0af-48a5-bf06-5a66a67a0ec9/1B6A1483.JPG https://www.willjt1994.com/photography-projects daily 0.75 2026-04-20 https://www.willjt1994.com/photography-projects/birds-of-alberta monthly 0.5 2026-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/8671d6a4-ff72-4bf5-9719-a6bee2dd0af2/1B6A0590.JPG Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/18715e62-59dd-409f-897d-735ab0351a78/D390ECA0-0A9B-401C-9779-08423973717A.jpeg Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/4fd4318b-d40a-406c-a518-e6eeb61e09e2/IMG_8556.jpeg Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/e177c85d-3fb7-4e84-8b37-19af3ba5642b/1B6A1951.JPG Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/cc4913db-7971-489b-88ad-34e2eee63b5c/IMG_0259.jpeg Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/4a25b77a-9e2d-47e5-9cce-5eb727126a56/IMG_0199.jpeg Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/4bc5018a-6fd0-4816-b34e-8bd902a06dcb/1B6A2346.JPG Photography projects - Birds of Alberta Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/3c5aa7d2-640a-40cb-a585-d2462a3a8e8c/1B6A8316.JPG Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/81e901e1-ee97-474b-abd9-31a31fc2dbfa/E1EC9C17-0C84-4CEB-961D-B6F7115D8559.jpeg Photography projects - Birds of Alberta https://www.willjt1994.com/photography-projects/black-and-white-threw-the-canadian-rockies monthly 0.5 2026-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/8211801a-cc44-4fa1-94fc-bc04a1ad9d98/1B6A1451.JPG Photography projects - Black and White threw the Canadian Rockies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/13433131-3046-4fe0-86e1-2c6bbca17973/1B6A2724.JPG Photography projects - Black and White threw the Canadian Rockies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/37df1cd1-6b70-4cb0-b0b9-379d3d19ee0e/1B6A1483.JPG Photography projects - Black and White threw the Canadian Rockies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e4336988344f0a5200721e/748859d9-861b-4956-835e-14e32a41dc1b/1B6A1478.JPG Photography projects - Black and White threw the Canadian Rockies
