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 »
Yesturday I wandered around Coal Harbour area with my camera and didn't really take many photos. Now, is it because I walk around Coal Harbour too much and I have photographed everything, or is it things are just not as interesting to me in the city? Who knows. This little guy was hanging out with his mother at the little pond on the north side of Georgia Street. Out of all … Continue Reading »
We're back from our little weekend get away up in Whistler for a wedding. Since I didn't take any photos at the wedding (didn't feel like bringing my camera) we did manage to get out to Alta Lake for a little bit. These two dogs (they look like twins eh?) were being taught by their owner to jump in after their balls. They were quite reluctant to get into the water … Continue Reading »
