Some HDR of street art on Calgary's 8th Ave First image is not HDR - but a semi-normal shot of what the art looks like from a normal angel. The other two are HDR processed in Corel Paintshop Pro 6X and were taken looking straight up in the middle of these artsy structures. EXIF N/A? Used my...

Impulse purchase - strolling by Blacks Camera in Chinook Mall Calgary and see 'close out' sale. Go in and come out with this nifty addition to my lens collection. Been planning on buying one for some time but today at close out prices I could not resist. not the best shot - taken with my...

I got the LaCie Porche 3TB a few days ago and I'm happy with it so far. Using it to back up my photo collection - only using 497 GB but that's more than the 300 GB capacity of my old external (the blue Seagate next to it) can hold. That unit will become the portable back up for my laptop and...

Kiwi preening himself - he's been molting for several weeks now.

Our boat ride may have been in an inflatable but was not quite as exhilarating as "nikonpup's" but we enjoy the peace and quite of a float on a quiet lake. My dear wife won't hear of a gas outboard for our boat - too much noise, not to mention the smell. So we motor along at 5 KM/Hr according...

Glad we got such beautiful batch of glads this year.

Great image "oldhippy" Grand daughters are all beautiful. By definition. Mine is only 9 months old - but she loves the camera.

ALMOST - got these Canada Geese in flight - focus is still not there. There was a whole flock of them to shoot too.

I rarely take a cell phone photo. But I did the other day. Walking down the aisle at Canadian Tire (hardware etc chain) I spotted this. IT IS MID-AUGUST FOR PITY SAKES!!!!!!!!!!! Taken with my Blackberry Z30 - yep we still exist, the vanishing BB faithful.

Based in part on the endorsement here and some advice from the IT specialist at the office who described the LaCie as "high end stuff" I pulled the trigger and ordered a "LaCie Porsche P9230 3TB". It will be the only Porsche I'll ever be able to afford. It will be an external back-up of all...

Looking to get a new external hard drive the old USB 2.0 / 300mb one I have is too small and too slow. My PC supports USB 3.0 so that is a no brainer. The old one will be relegated to service on my laptop which does not support USB 3.0 anyway. I have about 400 GB of images plus another 20 GB...

Took a wee walk in the backyard with my new-to-me vintage 70-210 Nikkor 4-5.6 AF-D lens on my D610 - I'm liking what this lens can do on that camera - "macro" taken a few feet away. Not a "micro" lens like my 60mm 2.8 G-ED lens but at 1/5th the cost it produces some nice images - no?

Took my new-to-me but vintage 70-210 Nikkor out for a walk to the near by marina in Cold Lake. Snapped a few picture of the boats moored there. The panorama's are many images stitched together. I have a three screen array on my desktop that gives me a 4800x900 resolution "screen". So I...

Just some cheap eBay stuff Decided a needed one of those reflector things - I kinda liked the idea of a hand hold and a triangle is so much cooler than a circle or oval right? Why not. Cheap like borscht eh. (Well $12 - about the price of a good bowl of borscht). And i needed some new...

Taken with my D610 and using the Tamron 20-40 wide angle lens - sadly left the hood on the kitchen table - sun spots were an issue, that lens needs a hood in the sunshine. Sheep River Falls in Alberta's Kananaskis Country Provincial Park near Okotoks AB - those are the Rocky Mountains in the...

Picked this up from Henry's.com's eBay auction site for $92.99 US. Read some really great reviews of this older lens and since my only long lens is a Sigma 100-300 which apparently isn't the greatest of long lenses (it is 1990 something vintage) I figured for less than $100 I'd give this...

Now we're talking human powered rides - here are ours. A matched pair of Catrike Villagers - mines the white one, the Mrs. has the red one. That's her heading home peddling hard to beat the impending storm on the horizon. That's our tiny village of Fort Kent on the horizon.

My 2500 RAM Turbo Cummins under the hood Pulls that 34 foot trailer like it ain't there. Camping in the bush this past weekend.

I did see Weddings & Sports photography as a subcategories but there are many other events the people photograph. Could there be consideration given to "Other Events" - or something to that effect, or even just Event Photography? I did a set on a open Market, and just went to a big fair (well...

Colours at the Market ~ Millarville Open Market Took these a week or so ago and I THOUGHT I had taken my new-to-me Tamron SP 20-40 F/2.7-3.5 to the Millarville Market, but the EXIF Data tells me that on that day I had my oldie Nikkor 28-80 original F60 Kit lens on. ANYway it gave me something...
