A night photograph of the milky way over Nistowiak Falls in north Saskatchewan

Nistowiak Falls – 2024

Pictured here is the Milky Way over Nistowiak Falls in Saskatchewan. Yes, you read that right. Saskatchewan—a Canadian province often dismissed as flat and boring—is anything but, in my experience.

As a proud Saskatchewan native, I’ve had the privilege of photographing many unique geological wonders across this province. But despite those adventures, I’d never been to northern Saskatchewan. The logistics are difficult, and it’s much easier to focus on the more accessible southern half.

That all changed this past fall when Tourism Saskatchewan approached me about contributing to their astrophotography and night sky campaign. The idea was to venture into the stunning north to capture some unique images that had never before been seen. The first location that came to mind? Nistowiak Falls—a spot where, in late fall, the Milky Way core aligns perfectly over the center of the falls.

The challenge? Reaching a vantage point on the east side of the Falls; a feat no one had ever accomplished before (that we know of). It involved a 15km canoe paddle through rapids and high winds, crossing a canoe along the top of the waterfall, bushwhacking through dense pine forest, and finally rappelling down to a wet, slippery ledge to get this shot. Oh, and it was all captured by a documentary crew.

It was an unforgettable adventure, and the result speaks for itself. You can read the full story and watch the short film here.

ABOUT THE FINE ART PRINTS

ACRYLIC FACEMOUNT PRINTS ON METALLIC PAPER

Acrylic Facemount Prints offer unrivalled clarity and sharpness with vivid colours. Your image is first printed to a metallic paper that offers extra pop, then 1/8″ thick Cast Acrylic is reverse face-mounted using crystal clear OptiTac adhesive that provides permanent and invisible adhesion. Each piece is then backed with 1/8″ thick aluminum Dibond which offers superb rigidity with all hanging hardware attached to the back. The result is an unmatched piece of art that has a contemporary feel with striking visual depth. This is the premier presentation for my photographs that bring detail and colour to life in a way that traditional presentations cannot.
