Suspension Reflection

Suspension Reflection
As the rainy season comes, I start to remember the warm nights as I wonder around shooting.  That doesn't happen often anymore, and this particular shot I was in Carnation, WA at Tolt Hill McDonald Park and managed to sneak down to the water to catch this awesome reflection.

Red House and Vancouver

Red House and Vancouver

While walking around the Sea Wall of Stanley Park, I snapped a RAW photo of the red building with the city of Vancouver behind it.  I wasn't intending to take an HDR photo, but I processed it and liked the way it came out.  The sky is a bit grainy, but I like the rest of the photo so much, I decided to publish it.

The Red, White & Pink

Red, White and Pink

Looking back on almost my entire 2005 photo collection as I prepared to get ready for 2006, I made a resolution to stop shooting flowers.  I had too many and they started to all look the same.  However, a trip to Butchart Gardens in the spring of 2009 I broke this resolution, because well, at a garden, what are you going to take photos of?

I actually modified this to be to take only pictures of interesting photos of flowers.  Similar to this flower posted almost a year ago, it’s interesting.  So I recently went back to those Butchart photos and found this one that really jumped out at me with the red, white and pink (not blue, sorry USA), and the fence behind it.

I still need to get back to Butchart to see the roses, but I’m not sure if I’ll make it this year. As always, you can view the larger version on Flickr.

Here Comes The Rain Again

While talking a walk on Dallas Road, the rain clouds exploded from the west stretching over the sky.  I really like how they look like they are just exploding out of a central point.  Often the west coast isn’t known for it’s sky’s, so it’s nice to see some cloud action out here.  See full size on Flickr.

"That's Not Graffitti" Tunnel (Formerly "Graffitti Tunnel")

Graffiti Tunnel

This tunnel goes under the only train tracks on Vancouver Island near Thetis Lake. The tunnel walls were actually painted by a school project. All the walls are painted, including the roof. I want to come back here in the fall and shoot this with the fall colours as I think it’ll be a colour explosion. View larger size on Flickr.

Technically, this is my first HDR taken from a single RAW image by exporting the RAW file into multi-exposure. I’m happy with how it came out, although I wish the sky wasn’t so grey, but apparently this weekend I can’t do anything about that.

Update: With a stroke of good fortune, I found the artist of this tunnel online, who reminded me it's not Graffitti. His name is Morgan Macaulay. He's an artist in Victoria, BC that paints all sorts of projects, including ones like this one, in the community. I'm happy to give him credit for this beautiful tunnel that I get to walk through a number of times a week. If you're interested in more of his art, check out his webpage here

Lonely Beach Chairs

Lonely Beach Chairs

Walking on the beach looking for a good sunset shot that never produced, I thought it looked pretty cool that all these beach chairs were empty.  I guess it’s proof that the sunset just wasn’t spectacular.
