The weather here in Vancouver has been pretty good lately and today I managed to venture out into the surrounding neighbourhood here in the West End of Vancouver. In the morning I ventured out with my buddy Keith around Lost Lagoon in search for the local Hummingbirds. We did not see them this morning, but we do know the locations of their new haunts. Also the Mute Swan Cygnets have yet to … Continue Reading »
Well from time to time I don't give myself enough room to create a post on the photos I shot in a particular day, so I'll do a post today for the photos I took yesterday. Keith and I were out and about around Lost Lagoon snapping away at the various hummingbirds in the locations we know about in which they frequent. One spot is pretty good for photos of a … Continue Reading »
With the end of the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics there are still some smaller events happening around Whistler that people get excited about. Though, there is one large festival that gets put on every year that everyone gets really excited about; Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival. The Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival (TWSSF or WSSF) is a 10 day long event held in Whistler Village that comprises of … Continue Reading »
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 »
