Black berries with red stems creating natural jewellery against changing autumn foliage. Love these subtle seasonal transitions and nature's design sense. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #keithjconnellphotography

Wild thistles showing their incredible resilience in harsh conditions. Amazing how these spiky survivors produce such delicate, beautiful purple blooms. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #keithjconnellphotography

Badlands landscape revealing millions of years of geological history in layered rock formations. The scale of deep time written in stone is absolutely mind-bending. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #keithjconnellphotography

Mountain stream rushing over rocks, demonstrating water's incredible power to shape landscapes over time. The intersection of force and patience in nature. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory

Great #XR day with students from the #GeorgianCollege Protection, Security & Investigation Program. Exploring Bodyswaps de-escalation scenarios.

Blue hour puddle reflections turning ordinary street elements into something more mysterious and abstract. Love these accidental compositions. #georgiancollege #barriephotography #keithjconnell

This daylily looked like it was painted with sunlight. Late-day light gave the petals their glow. One of those simple moments that feels complete.

This one nearly didn’t make the cut — severely underexposed shot from an afternoon walk near a small pond. But Lightroom pulled through.

Yellow rose in that perfect half-open stage where it's more sculpture than flower. Love these transitional moments in botanical development. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #macrophotography #keithjconnellphotography

Sun creating dramatic starburst through tree canopy with beautiful lens flares. Love when technical effects enhance rather than distract from natural beauty. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #keithjconnellphotography

Railway infrastructure details in black and white. Love how monochrome brings out the character and texture in these weathered industrial objects. #georgiancollege #georgiandesignvisualarts #dgcc #yourvibeyourstory #macrophotography #keithjconnellphotography

Comparing sepia vs colour treatments of a rural scene. Amazing how that warm monochrome completely changes from documentary to nostalgic memory.

Standing before a Jasper glacier the scale and time represented in this is beyond what any photograph can truly capture.

Sometimes a photo doesn’t need a new date to feel fresh. Sometimes it just needs to be seen again, with new eyes.

I framed it to contrast the organic lines with the rigid geometry of the building—and to see how stillness feels in an urban frame.

This close-up was taken on a mid-morning walk when the sun was sharp and the shadows just started to draw out. I’ve always loved the texture of birch trees.

There’s something so fleeting about a dandelion in seed—delicate, intricate, and gone with the lightest breeze. I wanted to lean into the softness and really isolate the structure.

Shot this during golden hour, where the light skimmed across the tall grass just enough to make the foreground dance. The image plays with depth.

I angled up into the trees and let the light spill through the cedar canopy, catching that bold burst right at the edge of control. Moody, chaotic, and a little cinematic.

Caught this Canada Goose gliding through a marsh so still it mirrored every detail—down to the curve of its neck and the ripple of its wake. See the full post now on keithjconnell.ca.

There’s a moment just before the music starts when the needle hovers, then drops. That’s what I wanted to capture here. “Drop the Needle” is about.
