Ice cream girl

Ice cream after dinner last night in the last bit of sunlight of the day.

Riverwalk at dusk

With the time back to "normal", I broke down and went out carrying the tripod :)

What this makes me realize is that I need to get back to shooting at night more. I'm out of practice and you sure can't trust the little display in the back of the camera :)

There are another series of photos, more tuning experiments, that I'll upload in the next little while. Something a bit different for me :)

Have a great night.

Spring walk in English Bay

I finally got out and shot a bit again.

It felt good :)

Street Silhouette

I enjoy photographing these doors. Even when I have to sit in a snow covered street, blind to traffic because I'm waiting for someone to walk into the frame ... in just the right way :)

Why not go all the way?

Fog Walker

Shot after sunset on Kits beach. The fog was making it tricky to get the exposure right.


Better Large and on Black

King of the Log

Shot during one of the 'festival of light' nights summer 2008.

Larger here.

Celebration of light

Jenn came over on Saturday to watch the fireworks. Before though, we decided to take in some of the insanity at the beach.

As I am no good at taking photos of the fireworks themselves, here are just a few shots 'pre-celebration' :)

Note the link to the slideshow below, this really has to be seen larger.

It was really cold tonight, I may put my gloves and toque back in my bag :)

Enjoy the slideshow.

Walking the tracks

It was too nice to go spend the night indoors at the gym so I walked down the train tracks. I'd never used them to navigate before, it was quite fun to get a different view of the neighborhood.

2 dimensional



Blossoms (as shot, directly as it came off the D40)



Life by the tracks



Big Shiny Object



Joggers



Bronzed Rider (again, as shot, directly off the D40, slight crop)

Swapped to my 10-20 mm lens as it was getting dark.

As always, please enjoy larger shots via the slideshow

Thanks for having a look, have a good night.

The first "Spring" day of 2008

It felt so nice and warm today, you could almost imagine that the date was March 22 instead of Feb 22 and that spring had sprung :)

So I grabbed the camera and headed down to the beach to enjoy a nice sunset.

I wasn't the only one, the beach was noticeably busier than the last time I was there to shoot. And on top of it all, a volley ball game had broken out





I didn't move far, there was much to see and shoot.





... though why so many folks were looking down instead of enjoying the view, I could not quite understand.

And now it's time for another game of "Colour vs. Black and White"





Which do you prefer?

If you view this blog regularly, you know that I'm always predisposed to pick B&W over colour. However, today I really loved the light, the B&W shot above is the only one in this blog entry :)



A tiny bit of work with the fill flash



And many opportunities to photograph silhouettes, ducks, boats and the sunset.









... and one pink fluffy cloud :)





But mostly ducks and boats and silhouettes.









And that's it for tonight. Have a great weekend.

Bjorn
