“In​ this​ ​ collection​ ​ ​I​ ​have​ ​documented​ ​the​ beautiful​ ​ landscape​ ​ ​and​ ​scenery​ ​that​ ​mother​ ​nature​ ​has to ​offer.​ ​​These​ ​photographs​ ​were​ ​all​ ​part​ ​of​ a​​ journey,​​ each ​with​ ​ ​it’s​ ​own​ ​story.​ ​These ​​moments are​ hard​ ​​to​ ​describe, ​​yet ​so​ ​easy​ ​​to ​​experience ​when​ ​ wandering​ ​in​ ​the​ ​wilderness.​ ​​This collection​ shows​ ​ my​ ​​perspective ​of​​ ​the ​places​ ​​I’ve​ ​explored, ​from​ ​ the​ ​Canadian​ ​Rockies​ ​in​ Alberta​ to​ ​the​ ​ ​mountain​ ​ridges ​​of​ ​British​ Columbia​ ​ ​and​ ​the ​Pacific​ ​​Northwest.”

“My​ ​name ​is​ ​Tal​ ​​Vardi ​​and ​​I ​​am​ ​a​ ​full ​​time​ ​adventure​ ​photographer. I ​was​ ​ ​born​ and​ ​ ​raised ​​in ​​Israel​ and​ ​ today​ ​​I​ ​live ​​in​ Vancouver,​ Canada.​ ​However,​ my​ ​ real​ ​ ​home is ​​up​ ​in​ ​the​ ​mountains,​ beside​ ​glaciers ​and​ ​in​​ ​the​ ​Ocean,​ where​ ​ ​most​ ​of ​​my​ ​inspiration​ ​comes from. I ​find​ ​ that​ ​​the​ ​experiences​ ​you​ ​go​ ​through,​ the​ ​ people​ ​​you ​meet​ ​ ​and​ ​the​ ​memories​ ​you​ ​make during ​​these ​​adventures ​are​ ​ the​ ​ ​foundation​ ​of​ a​​ ​good​ photograph.​ I ​offer​ ​ ​Adventure ​​Photography​ courses​ ​that​ ​teach​ ​ the​ ​ ​basics​ of​ ​​photography​ ​while​ ​exploring​ ​the great​ ​landscapes​ ​that​ ​Canada​ and​ ​​the​ ​Pacific​ ​Northwest ​​have ​​to​ ​offer.”

EQUIPMENT ​AND​ ​​TECHNIQUE:

For ​​landscapes​ I​ ​​use ​​the ​Canon​ ​ ​6D ​with​ ​​three ​main​ ​ lenses:​ ​​Canon​ EF​ ​70-200mm,​ ​Canon​ 16-35mm​ for​ ​ ​most​ landscapes​ ​ and​ ​​the ​Rokinon​ ​ 14mm​ ​for​ ​ Astrophotography.​ For ​long​ ​ exposures​ ​​I ​use​ ​ ​the​ ​Lee​ ​Filter ​​system​ ​with​ ​Neutral​ ​Density ​filters​ ​​to ​reduce​ ​the​ ​amount​ of​ ​light​ ​coming ​into​ ​​the​ camera​ ​and​ ​some​ ​​Graduated​ ​filters​ ​to ​control​ ​​exposure​ differences​ within​ the​ ​ frame.​ ​ If​​ ​I​ choose​ ​ to​​ ​enhance​ some​ ​of​​ ​the​ colors​ ​and​ ​remove​ ​ ​any​ ​reflections, ​​I​ ​use the​ ​Lee​ Landscape​ ​ Circular​ ​Polarizer​ ​ as​​ ​well. To​ ​get​ the​ ​ ​most​ ​details ​​from​ ​each​ ​photograph, ​​I​ ​shoot​ ​with ​Raw​ ​format.​ ​ For​ ​​post-processing​ I​ use ​the​ ​ Adobe​ ​ Lightroom​ ​ ​software. For ​​me, ​the​ ​ best​ ​ and​ ​ most​ ​ ​complementing​ time​ ​ ​to​ ​shoot ​​outdoors ​is​​ during​ ​ ​sunset,​ ​sunrise​ or​ moonless​ ​nights​ ​when​ ​you​ ​can ​see​ ​​the​ ​Milky​ ​Way​ with​ ​ the​ ​ ​naked​ ​eye.
