My Trip to Rabbit Island located just 20 out of Vancouver Island was amazing! I got to learn from five talented photographers from the USA and Canada for a whole week. I have uploaded some photos in each of the galleries of my trip. In the description is will say Rabbit Island '09. Kathy, the islands cook was amazing; the meals were great everyday no matter what it was.I would say I did learn a lot. I got to see what the other photographer’s pictures were like and how I could improve in the future. I also got a good look at the camera equipment, and even got to try out a few new lenses and filters.

Everyday we went by boat to new islands that surrounded Rabbit Island for picture taking. It was always go, go, go during sunrise and sunset. We would rest a bit and edit pictures during the day. We woke up at 4am or 5amalmost everyday to catch the perfect lighting in the morning and would shoot till about 7 or 8am. After breakfast we would head out again to a new island and take pictures there till noon, when we came back for Lunch. After lunch there out line would be to rest, walk around the island and edit pictures. After dinner we would all head out on the boat again to take advantage of the sunsets.

I do have to say that the mosquitoes were killer huge out there. I didn’t know they could get that big! I of course didn’t bother bringing pants because the weather was supposed to be nice the whole week. But because of that I got 20+ bites per leg! It’s all part of the experience though.
