Photowalk Before School

Photowalk Before School

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 »

Little White Rock Walk and an Update

Little White Rock Walk and an Update

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 »

Photo of the Day: Peyto Lake, Alberta

Photo of the Day: Peyto Lake, Alberta

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 »

Travel: Grand-Adventures and the Grand Canyon, Arizona

Travel: Grand-Adventures and the Grand Canyon, Arizona

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 »

Photos: Recent Weather

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 »

Road Trip 2011: Day 2 & Star Lake Fishing Resort

Road Trip 2011: Day 2 & Star Lake Fishing Resort

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 »

Photo of the Day: Moraine Lake, Alberta

Photo of the Day: Moraine Lake, Alberta

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 »

Road Trip to the Rockies

Road Trip to the Rockies

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 »

Morning Rainbow

Morning Rainbow

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 »

VanDusen Botanical Garden: A Couple Photos

VanDusen Botanical Garden: A Couple Photos

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 »
