Great news fellow Canadian photographers, we now own copyright to all of our pictures, commissioned or not!
A big win for photographers in Canada: as of today, you now officially own the copyright to all your photographs regardless of whether they were commissioned. The development comes as a result of Canada major copyright reform bill (Bill C-11) taking effect this morning. One of the stated goals of the new copyright law is to, “give photographers the same rights as other creators.”
Make sure to watch this gorgeous timelapse video of the Swiss Alps in full screen and in HD. Watch for a meteor trail at the 46 seconds mark. Amazing!
This will make any Swiss person homesick instantly.

A Minke whale in the St Lawrence estuary near Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec
A Minke whale in the St Lawrence estuary. There were hundreds of them during breeding season in the seemingly calm waters, but don’t let that fool you! According to the ship’s captain, the water is nearly freezing (between 2 and 4 degrees Celsius), the currents incredibly strong and the depths are teeming with sharks big enough to munch on an adult seal.
