Welcome to the Eye For Detail Photography Website. Here you can find out more about us and look at some of our favourite photos. Almost all the photos you see were taken by me, Trent Ernst. Some were taken by my talented second shooter, Darin Clisby, and a few were taken by my wife, Colette. If the photos were taken by someone else other than me, I will tell you.
Feel free to look around and make comments. We appreciate your feedback.

A couple weeks ago, the temperature dipped to down round -40 C. I sent an email to Josh saying that if it stayed like that, he’d be the one having to warm up the frozen batteries under his arms.
Fortunately, the weather was a lot warmer last Saturday when he and Katelin got married at Bethel Pentecostal Church in Dawson Creek. There was a fine mist of ice rain as I was driving in, which turned to snow just in time for the wedding.
We did most of the shots outside, and while it wasn’t -40, it was still quite cold. Cold enough that the metal camera body caused my fingers to get numb very quickly. Cold enough so that the batteries in my flash wouldn’t recycle fast enough to make it useful. Cold enough that one camera just decided to stop working all together.
But despite all that, Josh and Katelin and the rest of the party were oh-so photogenic and we got lots of great shots. Maybe not quite as many as I would have got if it were a little warmer, but enough to capture a really good sense of their special day without anyone getting frostbite.
Here’s some of my favourites. Click on more to see all the photos.

Bree. Being Bree. Again.

Another picture from the drive through Banff, though this is actually Jasper. The Athabasca River, in fact. It’s like a highway. Straight and wide and loud.

On the drive home from Banff, I hit the big mountains at the top of the Icefields Parkway just as the sun was coming up. And no traffic meant I could take longish exposures from the middle of the road….

I published a photo of Cow Lake looking the other way, but realized I hadn’t gone through and tweaked this one yet.

Our mascot for the Kispiox trip.

Before we hit Kispiox we played the Alpenhorn in Smithers. Here’s a decapitated Blaine on the stairs behind the pub.

From the same evening on the way to Kispiox. We were discussing photography and taking pictures of the night sky, and so I took one, just to show how it was done. Trees are lit by the evening’s fire.

On the drive to Kispiox we stayed at Bear Lake Provincial Park. We got there just before sunset, which was spectacular. Of course, as I made the way along the dark shoreline, I stepped into the water a couple times, but the shots I got were worth it.
