Tofino Sunset

The wedding party went on hold (for just a few minutes) due to the amazing sunset. We went outside to take it in.

After Sunset

Taken on Burnaby mountain. All the other 'photographers' had packed up. I was still freezing and waited.

And tried very hard not to blow out my red channel.

:)



Oh and if you don't like red, you probably won't like this very much ;)

This one you really should see large and on black.

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.

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)

Box 2



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

Kits beach tree



Untitled (calling it "Watermark sign" seems a tad to obvious.



As always, please enjoy larger shots via the slideshow

Thanks for having a look, have a good night.

Easter Sunday ... Sun ...

I found that I had almost no battery, but I had a great time and the light was awesome.

Straight from the 50's



Dinner



#7





The Plant
... and my favorite game, colour or B&W (not really fair, I forgot my circular polarizer).





One more because the light and the sky rocked!



A couple of experimental shots





I'm partial to the first on myself.

If you'd like, enjoy the shots large and as part of a slideshow

Happy Easter :)

P.S.: Self portrait :)

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.
