Well I'm still practicing and will forever be practicing. What am I practicing? My photography as well, well currently I've been trying to get better bird in flight photos, especially those of the local chickadees. Being that the average wing speed of a chickadee is 27 beats per minute that makes their wings really hard to freeze. Today's outing with Robyn around the Seawall and to Beaver lake was fun. I … Continue Reading »
After the fun trip to the Vancouver Aquarium the rains had stopped and the clouds parted. It was time to get outside with the camera and head back to Lost Lagoon. This time I wanted to practice BiF shots, or Bird in Flight shots. Any sort of bird even those pesky seagulls. The sun was out so I thought I might be able to get aperture and shutter up high … Continue Reading »
The previous evening Scott and I quickly picked a place to go for a photowalk the following day, we decided to meet up at the Vancouver Aquarium. Since it was pissing out with rain, we thought this would be the best place to take our cameras without getting to wet, as most of the aquarium is indoors. As with most trips to the Vancouver Aquarium most people typically start off on … Continue Reading »
Perhaps I'll make this sort of post a more common theme here at Tyler Ingram dot Com. I can showcase a single photo and hope people might help me criticism it via the Comment area below. Perhaps I will look at making a Flickr Photo Group where I can take 1 photo per week that other people submit, display them here and people can do creative criticism on it as … Continue Reading »
Our last day on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica was a fun one. We opted to take the White Water Rafting tour which provided us transportation from Puerto Viejo, to the rafting centre and then back into San Jose for the night. People we told about us taking the rafting trip on our last day thought it was the best way to end such an awesome adventure. We would … Continue Reading »
Well we're back in Vancouver and I must say, we both dearly miss Costa Rica. I went yesterday morning to the local Starbucks to pick up some coffee for Robyn and I and it was an odd feeling walking towards the Davie & Denman location. I guess I got so used to the relaxed way in Puerto Viejo, the quietness too. Vancouver seems noisy and busy in comparison. Day 8 Alright, the … Continue Reading »
Day 7 was a self-guided trip to Punta Uva on bicycles. The journey is roughly 1 hour over partially paved roads with some pretty massive potholes dotted along the way. Even though it was a bumpy ride it was a fun adventure. After all, a man from New Jersey said to us the other day, "You don't experience the true Costa Rica until you've used a bicycle". Polar Bear Swim 2010 / … Continue Reading »
The plan for Day 6 was to head into Manzanillo rainforest (Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Gandoca-Manzanillo) with a local guide, so we did just that. We were picked up at the Banana Azul at 7am (5am for you pacific time people) and headed into Puerto Viejo to pick up our guide Ricky and continue on to Manzanillo. The park spans from Manzanillo south down to the Panama boarder encompassing 5,013 … Continue Reading »
Well one thing that never surprises me is how busy the Christmas Holidays is for me. There are social things always happening throughout the month of December, there are 3 birthdays in just my family alone. Then of course there is Christmas dinners and New Year's. This Christmas holiday is a bit different than other ones and both Robyn and myself are getting excited about it. Why are we excited? Well … Continue Reading »
Yes, it is another Photos From Today post that I do enjoy putting out there. What else is a guy to do while he's unemployed? Yea, I'm sure some of you said, 'Get a Job' but that will come in the new year. Today I thought I would venture into Stanley Park. Not the typical around the Seawall, or to Beaver Lake, but actually take some of the trails that meander … Continue Reading »
