I was done at BCIT at about 1:30pm and needed to kill a few hours until my class at Langara at 6:30pm. So what would one do for 5 hours? Well, if you're like me, you would probably decide to do a photowalk. Of course, you would have also needed to bring your camera gear (which I had on me). So, my journey around the downtown core, is one of my … Continue Reading »
The past 4 days have been pretty relaxed. Last Wednesday was my last final exam for my 2-year program at BCIT in their CST (Computer System Technology) diploma program, and it has been a long 2-years. This has also been the first 4 days in a row where I did not have any assignments or homework that was needing to be done before the follow week, but I am not … Continue Reading »
Click on the above photo for a larger view Along our trip from Japser, Alberta to Banff, Alberta, we stopped off at Peyto Lake. This large, turquoise coloured lake is fed from a nearby glacier (off camera left). The colour of the water is from the silt that is deposited into the lake. When the sunlit hit the silt particles at a particular angle, the unrealistic colour is produced. The above photo … Continue Reading »
It looks like I have been missing in action lately as there hasn't been many updates here. Well, I can assure you I am still around, just have been busy and also trying to take it easy during my winter break from school. I have 1 more term to go and then I can go back out into the work force, which I miss quite a bit actually. One of the … 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 »
On our second day, we woke up with grey clouds handing over Lac La Hache. As we were taking out camp down, it did start to rain a little bit. You could hear the campers next to us curse the rain as we finished up and headed to our next destination; Clearwater, BC. From Lac La Hache we drove though 100 Mile, where we picked up a new axe and had … Continue Reading »
Moraine Lake in Banff National Park just outside of Lake Louise Alberta. As iconic as Lake Louise is to people, I prefer Moraine Lake. Mainly because it was not as "touristy" as Lake Louise was. If you get up early enough (like Robyn and I did) you can catch the sun cresting over the mountains and lighting the mountains you see in the photo. The morning sun brings out the colours … Continue Reading »
I recently finished my last week of my Co-op position at Wardrop Engineering Inc. which means that I had a few days before school started back up. For those following along, I'll be going into my 2nd year at BCIT in their Computer Systems Technology (CST) program. With a few days available for vacation, Robyn and I decided to do a road trip through BC and into Alberta to visit … 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 »
Yesterday as I walked for Robyn I popped over to the VanDusen Botanical Garden for a little photowalk. The sun was out, the breeze was cool and the gardens were practically empty. I walked around for just a little under two hours and managed to only take 31 photos. Just wasn't really feeling it I guess. Though, if I one were to bring a macro lens with them, I am sure … Continue Reading »
