Attention to Detail



Attention to Detail. Captured at the Forbidden City in Beijing China, it amazed me how much attention to detail there was. If you're not looking at this one as large as possible, you should and just check out the attention to detail the workers did for their emporer. View the larger version on Flickr

Streets Aglow



Streets Aglow. Again in The Bund in Shanghai, China, I got a great dusk shot as the street lights started coming on. Kind of makes me feel like there is a little fire at ground level. Love shooting at this time of night in a downtown scene View the larger version on Flickr

Shanghai at Night



Shanghai at Night. While wondering in "The Bund" in Shanghai China, I decided to take a long exposure. I didn't have tripod with me so I used a ledge to stable the camera and took a 32 second exposure. I was super happy how it turned out. I can't believe the people stayed mostly still for 32 seconds!

Kinsol Trestle



Kinsol Trestle. The Kinsole Trestle, now part of the Canadian Hiking Trails, is the largest train trestle in the commonwealth (and Canada) and one of the largest in the world. Sitting on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, it makes for a great little easy hike and visit. View the larger version on Flickr

Pink and Blue

Pink and Blue

Visiting the Multnomah Falls in Portland, OR was pretty awesome, except that it was the foggiest, rainiest day ever.  And with a wife who's not into photography, it's hard to get the images you want.  Also, it's virtually impossible to go during peak time and get an empty waterfall.  So I decided to emphasis that fact with the Pink, Blue and Black umbrella's looking up at the falls.

Suspension under Sky

Suspension under Sky

Visiting Tolt Hill Park in Carnation later last year to give my friend some tips on HDR photography, I placed my camera on the solid part of the suspension bridge (to prevent sway) and snapped this wonderful HDR.  The bridge was what caught my eye, but the sky is what makes me like this photo.

Victoria in Snow

Victoria in Snow

As the snow starts to melt from Victoria I think back to how often we actually get snow.  Hardly at all.  I can only remember 2006 (when this photo was taken) and 2008 when I first officially moved here.  This is a shot I took in 2006 walking around the Inner harbour in the snow.

The Hike to Wallace

The Hike to Wallace

Another old shot, this time from 2003, but it's been one of my favorites.  On a Hike up to see the Wallace Falls between Stevens Pass and Monroe in Washington State it's quite a nice gem of a walk, the first part of the hike is super easy and you see the small falls, if you continue on, you get to see some larger falls.

Taken near Gold Bar, WA, United States.

Spring Blossoms

Spring Blossoms

Another old shot, but one of my favorites (as you can see by it being the backdrop of this blog).  I was out capturing trains in the Snoqualmie train museum in the spring and this explosion of purple just burst out of the ground. View larger version on Flickr.

Taken in Snoqualmie, WA, USA

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.
