Good large | BEST in original | My top 100
Greeting the day from 3000 feet in the helicopter. The cloud textures this day were quite fascinating. The strait of Georgia is largely covered in a low cloud cover.

You won't see a photo like this any time soon [said with all modesty given the fortuitous nature of this capture]. No Photoshop involved.
This shows Stanley Park under the cloud cover over Vancouver as we landed in the Helicopter the other day. I love this shot. It reminds me of magic.

This little drop of water (1mm diameter) is on the tip of a .5 cm moss sprout.
Supermacro reversed 50mm technique employed here. Very small. Very shallow depth of field results in the large blurry moss seeds in the background. In reality, they are just a few mm away. Microworld!

Darkness Falls on Gastown

large | original | My top 100
I've seen this wierd ridge of cloud only a few times in my travels across the Georgia Strait. It sweeps in and blots out the sun. When we took off in the helicopter and rose above we were back in the brilliant sunlight you see in the top left corner.
This is a three exposure HDR taken from the Seabus pedway over the Gastown Railyards.

The Light Fantastic

Light plays brilliantly on every scale. These little moss sprouts are one half centimeters tall at best, most far less. Dew makes them sparkle in the morning light.
This is taken using a consumer digital camera and reversed 50mm Pentax f2.0 prime lens.

Down by the Water

Dedicated to one of the first and best flickr friends I made here. She showed me a lot about graphical style, and about square photographic composition.
Check out michaelab311 if you get a chance.
Thanks!

Are You Ready for the 2010 Winter Olympics?

That's the world on the horizon, fellow Vancouverites. If this think this Monday is hectic with ferry cancellations and Lion's Gate closed, you ain't seen nothing yet. I thrive on hectic but a lot of people can't stand it. Hope you have vacation plans if that's you.
This is a rework of my New Year's shot. You may recall i posted a SOTC shot as well as an HDR version. This is a square crop of the HDR version that was previously private.

Should be viewed larger to see the detail in the water drop refraction
I had a lot of fun with this series. One day I'll be able to do it again but it requires specific conditions to achieve. The Cowichan RIver Valley to be specific.

Ant Life
via flickr.com
If you were an ant wandering around early on the monring in the Cowichan Valley you might see this optical illusion. Not an illusion really. An example of "refraction" of light through a dew drop. Most people think this effect is a "reflection" but it is not. Reflection is when light bounces off something. Refraction is when light is passing through and being bent. That is what you are seeing in dewdrop shots.

Brimful of Sun

Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in it's ways here
Oh, but California
California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home
