Coast Journal is a small reference covering the fundamentals of outdoor nature photography in Canada: camera settings, composition, and natural light.
What this site covers
The focus is narrow on purpose. Rather than reviewing equipment or chasing trends, the articles explain a few durable fundamentals in practical terms, with examples drawn from Canadian landscapes such as the mountain parks of Alberta and the forests and northern skies found across the country.
How the content is written
Articles describe techniques and trade-offs rather than fixed recipes, so they remain useful across different cameras and conditions. Where a fact is well established it is linked to a public reference. Where precise figures are uncertain, neutral descriptions are used instead of invented numbers.
