Remember back in the early parts of last year where the people of British Columbia got to enter a lottery type system to purchase tickets for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics? I got in on that first day action and selected my choices. At that time Robyn and I wanted to to attend the various Snowboarding events, primarily the Half-Pipe and Boardercross (SBX). We didn't get our choices so I … Continue Reading »

It wasn't long until I posted more photos of birds. I like birds. Well, I think it's more the relaxing area in which to photograph birds is what I like more, especially on days when there are not many people.
Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Vancouver. The sun was shining, the clouds were late in rolling in and people buzzed around the West End. Yes, they are still trucking … Continue Reading »

I'll change things up a little bit today for the photos that were taken around Vancouver. Instead of showing the various bird photos I took, and yes I did take some, I thought I would share some of the photos from around the city. Though after a quick look, most of the photos came from roughly the same area.
GM Place is slowly being converted over to Canada Hockey Place. They … Continue Reading »

The weather tried to cooperate today but it decided to not play nice and stay pretty overcast with the occasional rainy drizzle.
I've been monkying around with my Canon 7D custom functions and getting it to match my Canon XSi so that when I go use both camera bodies, I don't have any issues with one working a different way than the other. I use * button on the back to … Continue Reading »

The morning was not bad in regards to the weather. There were some pretty decent sunny moments, but closer to the afternoon the clouds rolled in and it is currently trying to drizzle on us. Though the morning walk around Lost Lagoon and parts of Stanley Park didn't fare to bad in regards to some photos. Let's take a look!
When we eventually hit Brockton Point there was this little bird … Continue Reading »

Robyn and I headed up to Whistler/Blackcomb today and boy was it a lot of fun. The conditions were most excellent, with bluebird skies, some trace of new snow and awesome sunshine all day.
By now most people know that Whistler/Blackcomb is home to many of the Alpine events for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Which is quite evident when driving up into Whistler itself. Various Olympic graphics are being put … Continue Reading »

A lot of you who know me, know how I do enjoy going out to Lost Lagoon and taking photos of birds. Well, it doesn't have to be Lost Lagoon I suppose just birds anywhere in general, the bigger the better! I like to stand (or sit) and watch what they do, from swimming around, interacting with other birds, landing, taking off and flying. It's relaxing I suppose, and typically … Continue Reading »

Before the rains start again here in Vancouver I wanted to quickly get outside with my new Canon 7D. I wandered around the streets of Vancouver for a little bit and took a few shots before heading back home. The clouds slowly began to get darker and darker and now it's finally raining. Which is good because our local North Shore Mountains are hopefully receiving some much needed snow!
That's the … Continue Reading »

The sun is finally out shining among us Vancouverites and I managed to get out early enough to enjoy some of it. I suppose I could go back outside but after walking around Vancouver for 4 hours, my feet are a bit sore. I'm sure there are more great photos out there to be taken, but I must rest my feet.
Today's walk was a fun little journey. I headed towards … Continue Reading »

The most recent photowalk that the No Compacts Allowed! Facebook group went on was to Chinatown in the evening this past Sunday. The plan was to meet up at the Millenium Gate on Pender next to Tinsletown and then wander around. We didn't have much of an itinerary but it was fun nonetheless.
The turn out wasn't bad considering the heavy dark clouds hang over Vancouver and threatened to rain but … Continue Reading »
