Tomorrow, I start my second term at BCIT, but I did manage to get out of the house and into the chilly foggy morning for a little photowalk with my buddy Keith (@PacificEagle). We just slowly made out way towards Third Beach in Stanley Park back to my neck of the woods in the West End. Other than a chilly walk, it was fairly busy today along the seawall. Here are … Continue Reading »
One of our friends was staying up at Whistler last week so on Friday we headed up to Whistler to meet them to do a bit of skiing and snowboarding. The great thing about that particular day was the weather, it was pretty much a blue bird day.Temperatures were chilly in the shade, but mildly warm in the direct sun, it was an awesome day! Typical of a day trip, we … Continue Reading »
Last night just before we popped in a DVD to watch, I noticed that the moon was rising and was near full. I quickly setup the camera on the tripod and took a dozen or so photos of it. Due to the construction of my cheap $20 tripod, along with the weight of my Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L IS lens, it was hard to get a good focus of the moon. … Continue Reading »
Alright, I just noticed something about Facebook that upsets me. Do you share your photos with people? Do you want people to be able to download your photos by just clicking on a link? Remember how I mentioned way back in the day about Facebook Owning Your Photos? Well it seems they have decided to step up their sharing of photos a notch. They now allow people to download "high resolution" … Continue Reading »
One of the events we were able to check out while we were up at Creekside, was the 2010 VIESSMANN FIBT World Cup Bobsleigh and Skeleton event at the Whistler Sliding Centre. Unfortunately, we were unable to check out the Skeleton portion of the event where Olympian Jon Montgomery won another gold, but John did take some good photos of it! Since Saturday was the only day we had available … Continue Reading »
Today my buddy Keith and I went out for a little walk around our neighbourhood. I was looking for various Autumn colours to take photos of as I have had no much time to get out and take photos as the seasons change. I thought the above shot might be interesting. Mount Seymour in the background with a recent dusting of snow, the slowly changing colours of the lagoon's trees and … Continue Reading »
October is technically not over, but it has come and gone pretty quick here as we come up to Halloween. It's also been a pretty busy month with the last couples weeks having Midterms take place here at BCIT. Robyn and I did get a chance to escape over to the Island (Vancouver Island) to visit our friends for their daughter's (our God Daughter's) first birthday. Even with the BC Ferries … Continue Reading »
Since I haven't had much time to get out and take photos with my camera, I have tried to make use of my iPhone 3G. I'm not happy with the quality of the 3G, though it is roughly VGA quality so I can't really complain if it doesn't perform the way I would like it to. The autumn colours are out at BCIT. Though it seems the leaves are falling quite … Continue Reading »
A photo from our recently trip to Hornby Island of one of the Harbour Air float planes taking off after picking someone up from the Ford's Cove Marina. Someone must have some extra income to charter a float plane to a marina that isn't typically on their flying route. … Continue Reading »
Still being fairly busy with school, I haven't managed to get all my photos together from the wedding that Robyn and I went to at the Rockwater Resort on the Sunshine Coast in the beginning of September. It can take a while to organize the photos, export them from Lightroom, import (upload) them over to Flickr and then write about the wedding and the venue itself. Instead, I'll just share the … Continue Reading »
