Click on the above photo for a larger view This photo might not be the most interesting or best technical etc, but I thought it would be neat to show people how the Venetian, in Las Vegas, has a canal that winds its way through it. You can even take a Gondola ride, which I am sure can be a romantic thing to do. Granted, the Venice canals would be more … Continue Reading »
Click on the photo to see a larger version within this page. I haven't done a stitch in a while, but I wanted to post something on the sunny side of things. The weather here in Vancouver is a bit wet (when isn't it?) so I thought perhaps a sunny scene might help brighten up your day! The above photo is approximately 10 photos shot from left to right and then stitched … Continue Reading »
School has been pretty full on, having to stay late evenings and not getting home until 10pm. I don't feel like I am getting ahead either. So much work, so little time to do it in. Term 3 of BCIT's CST program is pretty full on and instructors like to remind us that if we make it through this term, we'll be fine for our fourth and final term of … Continue Reading »
The past few weeks have been quite stressful and busy for my school life so today, as the weather is supposed to be good, I decided to head out to the promenade of White Rock along with my camera. Since Robyn is in New York with one of her best friends, she has my main SDHC memory card. I had to hunt around to see if I had any other memory … Continue Reading »
Even though the Celebration of Lights was last night, I was one Vancouverite (can I still call myself one?) that did not want to go see them. Instead, I headed straight to VanDusen Gardens after work as I waited for Robyn to finish her shift. I brought a nice little dinner with me and sat on a bench underneath a weeping willow tree. Pretty relaxing actually. After I was done with … Continue Reading »
Yesterday (July 267th, 2011) the Canadian Airforce Snowbirds put on a nice demonstration out in White Rock, BC. This annual event is put on for the Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorders Foundation (C.H.I.L.D) and thousands of people flock to the beach to watch the spectacular display. Instead of braving the mass of people down on the beach of White Rock, we stayed on the balcony, had some good BBQ food … Continue Reading »
The weather hasn't been the nicest here in the Metro Vancouver area. If you were a tourist visiting our little city, you wouldn't think you were visiting us during the Summer season. The above photos were taken this past Sunday out along the White Rock Pier. A couple of seagulls were pestering the eagle but it seems eagles don't really care for the smaller birds as I have seen attack … Continue Reading »
This past weekend in White Rock was their annual Tour DE White Rock; a series of hill climbs with the picturesque background of Semiahmoo Bay and Mount Baker. The event was held July 15th, 16th and 17th which would be the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. With being at work on Friday, and busy on Saturday I managed to only catch a glimpse of it on Sunday during the Peace Arch News … Continue Reading »
One thing I like looking at are statistics of my photography. I know some people out there also like to see what sort of numbers can be obtained when looking at information regarding theirs and other people's photography as well. One neat thing about Adobe Lightroom, is that you can run filters against your catalogues. If you're like me and create a catalogue for each year (it's the way I do … Continue Reading »
Now, I know not everyone wil appreciate the two photos above, but it was nice seeing a rainbow over Richmond on my way in to work on the bus this morning. I had to use Camera+'s Clairty and Vibrance filters to bring out the rainbow so it was a bit more visible. Clarity added a bit of noise/grain to the photos (more than I prefer) and of course, shooting from … Continue Reading »
