New West Dusk walk

A couple of things first. I'm going to break the photos out a bit different. In the past, I've displayed my photos chronologically. But lately I've been trying to shoot some specific items. In this post I will be grouping some by subject.

Second, not all of this walk happened at dusk. Sushi came in between a couple of parts of the walk ;)

B&W to start:
Old wheel-barrow


That's really more creepy than cute



Flowers and blossoms:
Yup, still spring


An early death


Inspired

I recently received my copy of Ansel Adams' Portfolios. If you've seen the book, you may remember what inspired me to take this photo. If not, maybe pick it up, some excellent images.

In human habitat:
Squirrel on a wire


Like a duck to ... tile?


Around the courthouse:
Just another brick


Begbie

a.k.a. The Hanging Judge

Trapp


Begbie Court


Obey:
Zap


Umm, no Vespas?


Wait ...


The art of the hydrant:
Growin' tall


For the dogs

(alternate title: The most pissed on hydrant in New West)

Terminal City Iron Works

(alternate title: Open --> )

Alternate views:
The photographer


Bench - redux


Worn:
Rex


Private


There really should be a third here, from my previous post, which is the Low Cost towing sign. It got me motivated to shoot old signs in the first place.

Industrial use:
Westminster Boiler & Tank


Westminster Boiler & Tanks backside


The next three I'm grouping because they just don't fit well anyplace else :)

Petro-Fire

Do I even have to mention that it was an amazing sun set?

Same but different


Home



The earlier "brighter" stuff was shot with the 18-200VR, the later stuff with the 35mm 1.8. It's great to be able to hand hold at ISO 200 when it's just about dark out.

I hope you enjoyed some of the photos.

Have a great weekend.

New West after work walk

We went for a little walk tonight, cold though it was.

I'm getting more used to shooting with the 70-210 and am liking it... is a 80-200 f2.8 in my future? I'm sure some day ;)


Spring has definitely sprung:




Mechanics - They're doing it wrong


Well worn


Smokestack


McQuack


Spring flowers




Hotel on stilts


Simon Fraser has some hard miles on him


Intakes


Crossings


Serpentine


Rough Neighbourhood


Golden


Twice the fun


Six short


Worn


Untitled


Your lips say "don't" but the ...


No


Have a good weekend.

Bronzed Child

One more with effect.



I'm not convinced yet, but it's definitely different. I'm sure there will be a few more conversions over the next little while.

:)

Photochrom Geese

I don't normally do a lot of post processing. But I wanted to try out the photochrom plug-in for Gimp.



A very different look from the original. But I think I like it.

Golden Ears Bridge at Dusk

A little after sunset

Burnaby Lake Walk

I'm still trying to shake off the final remnants of this cold, but went for a walk at Burnaby lake today.

Tough day for shooting, the light was flat and the ski not something you wanted in pictures.

Dead-wood


Moss at ground level


A bug level view of the world


Rufous hummingbird

I spent a lot of time trying to get a decent shot of this guy. But it was windy and I had a very tough time getting a clear shot. I must have well over 100 photos, two turned out well enough to post.

Hummingbird wings


Very cool to observe. :)

Happy Easter.
