In Nova Scotia, Canada:
Recently, Canadian photographer Dean Casavechia explored the scenery of Newfoundland for The Wall Street Journal. He shot a series about great walking trails on the small, off-the-radar island. After hours of plane travel and very little sleep, Dean found himself surrounded by the unique, wild environment loaded with ideal photo opportunities of quaint coastal towns and breathtaking landscapes.
WSJ posted some of Dean’s photos to their Instagram account, accompanied by facts about the area and information about travel opportunities.

In Albany, New York:
Karen Pearson was excited when she was approached by Upstate House to show the new, modern space that respected and reflected the historic original structure of Bellwood Barn in Saugerties, NY. The Bellwood Barn is a historic Dutch barn from the 1800’s that was restored by a New York couple as their weekend retreat. They designed the home top to bottom, maintaining its airy concept and accentuating the exposed beams. Karen focused on including as many of its quirky characteristics as possible, such as the building’s original wood skeleton and large barn doors that open the space to reveal a beautiful countryside.
Karen said she faced only a brief holdup throughout the entire shoot.
I got thrown off by a big black rat snake that was slithering the perimeter. I squealed like a little girl.
Other than that, she said the couple’s Bengal cat would have preferred to meander the property rather than be in the photo, but they managed just fine.

In Scotland Island, Australia:
An epic journey was had by Australian Photographer Chuck Bradley, as he took on the self-assigned challenge of Around the World in 84 Days. It came about after he purchased a brand new, Sony A7RII. He was excited to work with the new Wifi capabilities that allowed him to create images on the fly compared to his old, trusted Fujiix100 that only allowed him to process images once home.
Chuck’s goal was to come up with that “one killer shot from each place we visited while balancing holiday time with my wife.” His favorite shot of the whole trip came at a bit of a challenging time: while waiting in line for the Louvre. He saw that the glass pyramid across from the Louvre was reflecting lights all across the front of the building. He made the split second decision to get out of the very long line to get the shot, and was lucky enough to talk his way back in line afterwards.
